pacman.conf personalization capabilities
Hi! I'm newbie here.
Are there any plans to expand the personalization options in the package manager?
Right now, aside from the "ILoveCandy" Easter egg, there’s basically nothing. Or do I need to tinker with the source code myself?

Re: pacman.conf personalization capabilities
teckk is asking for the positive complement .
I honestly was also wondering what "customization" the OP is looking for in a CLI too that prints a bunch of package and file names.
VerbosePkgLists is nice if you've enough screen estate.
