This feature looks nice, but the problem is that the whole backup handling code is really messy, with non obvious interactions in conflict.c, remove.c and add.c and ugly hacks. I probably even made the code worse when trying to do quick fixes for 3.1 releases. And no work has been done for cleaning that since then. _______________________________________________ pacman-dev mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/pacman-dev
