It + will ask for confirmation before removing any packages listed + in the HoldPkg list + - Added a --noconfirm switch for use with script automation + - Modified dependency resolution to prefer packages explicitly + requested on the cmdline instead of those pulled in by + resolvedeps(). Example, if neither "xorg" nor "xfree86" is + installed and "blackbox xfree86" is requested, "xfree86" will + be used instead of "xorg" + - Added patch from Jason Chu: + - Smarter file-conflict checking with symlinked paths and + with files that move from one package to another +2.8 -

cleaned up the download progress bar a bit + - added %o parameter to XferCommand so wget can resume properly + - fixed a segfault in downloadfiles() (bug #787) + - patches from Oliver Burnett-Hall + -

if pacman sees a newer version of itself during an upgrade, + it will ask to install itself first, then be re-run to upgrade + the other packages. + - You can now use the --info option with --sync to display an + uninstalled package's dependency info. + - Added a sane umask before db writes + - buffer overflow fix (bug #442) +2.7.3 - makepkg not longer strips files with .exe or .dll extensions + - Added Aurelien's patch: + - proxy support (no authentication yet) + -
