--noprogressbar could probably go into makepkg.conf, but I think the rest needs to stay. -H could be used for --holdver, -n or -N for -- noconfirm (the other could be used for --noprogressbar). -S is deprecated so it could be for --source instead. I'm not sure about -- asroot. There's also --forcever. -- Sebastian Nowicki _______________________________________________ pacman-dev mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/pacman-dev
