When updating applications with pacman, now and then text with important information scroll past - if there are more updates being done, and if a logout occurs that information is lost.
Or is it? The text exists SOMEWHERE but is it reachable for a user? And, if so, where?

you might be able to find it in /var/log/pacman.log -- not sure if all echoed output goes there though

Unfortunately - no. My pacman.log just contains notes on packages that have been updated, when synchs have been done, and warnings on extracted ..pacnew files.

If you know which package the texts belong to, you can check the corresponding folder in /var/abs.
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
clean chroot building not flexible enough ?

My /var/abs only contains an empty local folder. The critical package is udev - I had time to read that one HAD to do some things before booting again.. Since my Arch session was interrupted, I am now using another distribution until I get the udev problems cleared up.

You need to run abs first. As root:
# pacman -S cvsup
# abs
Then search /var/abs for the package directory and read the *.install file.
In the case of udev, the file is /var/abs/base/udev/udev.install and it says to read /etc/udev/readme-udev-arch.txt for instructions.

IMO just install udev once again and it will show You the msg.

Thanks, Snowman - that solved my problem.

I think it'd be a good idea if there was an option to keep these in a log somewhere.
EDIT: Actually... It just occured to me that I could probably use "tee" to do this if necessary.

You don't need to keep/get an abs tree or use tee just to read the install files, they are kept by pacman - see /var/lib/pacman/local/<package>/install.
