Re: Show installed version and current version for out of date packages

Version 0.4-paste

/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/pacman -Sy &> /dev/null

# printf: hard precision on package names, easy on version numbers
/usr/bin/paste -d " " <(/usr/bin/printf "%-20.20s %-12s => \n" $(/usr/bin/pacman -Qu))  \
<(/usr/bin/pacman -Sdp --config <(grep -v "^Ignore" /etc/pacman.conf) --print-format "%v" $(/usr/bin/pacman -Qqu))

Changes wrt to 0.3-paste (thanks, falconindy!):
- config file is created on the fly,
- no need for sudo with 'pacman -Sdp'

Also, I've noticed that after adding a repo that has xf86-video-intel-newest - [archstuff] - pacman *does* suggest replacing xf86-video-intel-legacy:
