Highlighting checkupdates
I wanted to have a nice visual way to highlight checkupdates to distinguish when a package has changed its major, minor version, build. etc.

PKGBUILD is based upon fork from pacman-contrib-git from AUR.
Now to have the same thing directly in pacman....

Re: Highlighting checkupdates
Idea is OK, but why all those colors? Do you really need all that fine granularity? I can see the point in having three colors:
making pkgrel more grayed out
making major version more prominent
something in-between for minor versions and patches
I don't understand, for example, why ca-certificates has its own blue color. Why not treat it the same as a major version upgrade?

Re: Highlighting checkupdates
"major.minor.release-build" and because of it's version scheme, ca-certificates will always be a major update?

That's exactly the point. And the color scheme is supposed to mirror color thermal spectrum, from the hottest (blue), through white, orange to the coolest (red).
