Knowing which package will need to upgrade
Hello,
I like programming in python, I've some idea to query alpm.
I'm curious to know whether exists a way that will tell which package(s) need to upgrade, without modifying the database. Obviously it doesn't mean to backup the DBs and restore them after.

Re: Knowing which package will need to upgrade
You could take a look at the checkupdates script and see how that checks for updates.

Re: Knowing which package will need to upgrade
I was confused to find checkupdates. Then the script does a copy of the databases and query those.
Thank you for the point.
