[Solved] Pacman feature request (yaourt-related)

I have used yaourt in the past to show the group that a package may belong to.  I would like if pacman had the same feature to show what is in core or extra when running a query.

Re: [Solved] Pacman feature request (yaourt-related)

You need to clarify some things. Such as, are you talking about groups or repos? And what do you mean by 'running a query'?

I run a yaourt command: yaourt -Q --date and then filter the output when I rebuild packages.  I did recompile all of plasma before.

Re: [Solved] Pacman feature request (yaourt-related)

putting a repo with -Q makes no sense at all. Installed packages are installed, they are unrelated to whatever repo a package might be in now, and what repo a package might have come from is not stored in the database, so it's simply unavailable.

What, exactly, are you trying to accomplish?

Re: [Solved] Pacman feature request (yaourt-related)

I might rebuild all of core.  I have a build script that automates the building process.  It can work on a text file with items in a list (one per line) in a for loop.

Re: [Solved] Pacman feature request (yaourt-related)

So you're just looking for -Sl core?

Re: [Solved] Pacman feature request (yaourt-related)

Also?  That is the correct way to do what you've asked.

If that is indeed what you need, please mark the thread as solved.  And in the future, before you suggest feature requests for pacman, you might want to at least glance at it's man page or any documentation on the basics of how to use it.

Re: [Solved] Pacman feature request (yaourt-related)

This is also working: pacman -Q --groups plasma

Re: [Solved] Pacman feature request (yaourt-related)

So you're talking groups, not repos? You're giving a lot of conflicting info.

Re: [Solved] Pacman feature request (yaourt-related)

I'm used to the yaourt output but did try to find the answer to the repo question to see all the packages listed in core.  I know what commands to run using pacman.
