pacman provides a `checkupdates` script, see /usr/bin/checkupdates for how it
works.
Wow, I didn't know this one, thanks !
It can certainly be done. You can always do a pacman -Su later, if
you want.
The problem is that I want to check for updates in a script. 'pacman
-Sy' without upgrade can cause problems.
In your use case, you can probably specify an alternative db path
using the --dbpath switch in pacman.

That's what I wanted to do, but dbpath countains the local and upstream
databases, so I thought it might cause

Yes, I know, but I never used
Hi
I can't find a good way to check for available upgrades without touching
the database, as running `pacman -Sy` without `u` isn't supported. Any
idea ? Maybe a new pacman switch like --upstreamdbpath to toggle
change the location of sync/ without touching local/ ?
Why I need it :
