Feature request: current and updated versions in pacman -Su

I think it'd be really nice to have an option to display both the current installed and new upgraded version of packages when running pacman -Su
I often find myself wondering "how different" are the changes- is it a rev release? A major version upgrade? I don't really want to do that with 50 packages every week, but if it were easy I'd like to know that.
Instead of:
Targets (50): alsa-utils-1.0.23-3  tzdata-2010o-1  glibc-2.12.1-4  coreutils-8.7-1  db-5.1.19-3  heimdal-1.3.3-3  libcups-1.4.5-1  cups-1.4.5-1  glib2-2.26.1-1
              dbus-glib-0.92-1  gdk-pixbuf2-2.22.1-1  python2-bonobo-2.28.1-5  python2-gconf-2.28.1-5  python2-libgnome-2.28.1-5  python2-gnomecanvas-2.28.1-5
              python2-gnomevfs-2.28.1-5  gnome-python-2.28.1-5  gvfs-1.6.6-1  inputproto-2.0.1-1  libgnome-data-2.32.0-3  libgnome-2.32.0-3
              nvidia-utils-260.19.21-1  libva-1.0.6-1  libxi-1.4.0-1  man-pages-3.31-1  mercurial-1.7.1-1  nvidia-260.19.21-1  orc-0.4.11-1  perl-xml-parser-2.40-1
              qt-4.7.1-1  smbclient-3.5.6-1  samba-3.5.6-1  tar-1.25-1  texlive-bin-2010.1-5  texlive-core-2010.20288-1  transmission-cli-2.12-1
              transmission-gtk-2.12-1  upower-0.9.7-1  usbmuxd-1.0.6-1  xorg-xgamma-1.0.4-1  xorg-xinput-1.5.3-1  xorg-xkill-1.0.3-1  xorg-xrandr-1.3.4-1
              xorg-xrdb-1.0.7-1  xorg-xrefresh-1.0.4-1  xorg-xset-1.2.1-1  xorg-xsetroot-1.1.0-1  xorg-xwd-1.0.4-1  xorg-xwud-1.0.3-1  xproto-7.0.19-1
Do:
Targets (50):
              alsa-utils-1.0.23-2 to alsa-utils-1.0.23-3 
              tzdata-2010o     to tzdata-2010o-1 
              glibc-2.12.1-3    to glibc-2.12.1-4
and so forth.

Uhh, but this is not already clearly? I follow this:
if (rev > 1):
revision bump
else if (rev == 1):
version bump
for example "foo 1.2.33-4" means that the previous version is "foo 1.2.33-3". and "bar 4.3-1" meant that the previous version is "bar 4.2-n"
This only break when a 4.3-1 is quickly followed by a 4.3-2, but the solutions is clearly, update more frequently than the devs solve a break in rev 1 =].
This too don't work when 4.2-n is followed by a 4.4-1, but if this is so probably the 4.3 can be ignored.
Updating more frequently than a week make all this works, as you get all the version and revisions (including the bogus ones).
When I update I always scan for -1, so I know that a version update happened. Of course I read the mailing list too.

  • I am asked to Sign in with my Apple ID each time I boot my Macbook pro running the current and updated version of Yosemite

    Each time I boot my Macbook Pro running a currently patched version of Yosemite I am asked to "Sign in with my Apple ID."  After that I have to approve the use of Find My Mac, and then I have to agree to the Terms and conditions of Use.   This is very annoying since I use Bootcamp a lot and it adds a fair effort to the reboot process.   Any thoughts?
    Some additional clues that may or may not have bearing on this.
    Once I am booted into Yosemite completely, if I open Safari (also current version)  I am told my Safari Extensions have been migrated and I have to re-enable each one individually.   They have all been disabled.   This will occur each time I completely close Safari and reopen it.
    I appreciate your thoughts and suggestions everyone!   Thanks in advance.

    Hi chc517,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on a couple things about your specific configuration. The message you mentioned about the disk being encrypted would seem to indicate that you may have File Vault enabled. If that is the case and you are having a login issue, you would need to use the File Vault recovery key to reset your login password instead of your Apple ID, as noted in the following article:

  • Nokia 301 Feature Request in Next Update (Current ...

    Hello,
    If anyone know about below points available in current version the kindly reply the way.
    Feature request for next update.
    1. When I view sms it does not allow me to view previous or next using right or left navigation.  All the time I need to close current sms view and move down or up for previous or next sms and open it.
    2. Instead of adding "Sim Manager" bar, it can show on top of the screen network signal symbol like regular other mobile view.
    3. In Personalise view setting, add few more option to have quick access on front screen display.
    4. When we open menu, we need to navigate using up-down-right-left key, instead after opening menu we can have keypad shortcut from 0 to 9 atleast.
    5. For demo application, allow us access to remove once demo expired. This will freeup space.
    6. Wall paper for active screen is already available to user to customize but we can not change wall paper for manu and when locked.
    7. Mail application does not show bigger size mails.
    8. If we rename any video file extention to say from video.3gp to video.txt but still video player detect that video.  There is no way to hide any video or image or any file.  Need to have some way.
    Thank you in advanse.

    I see only you from Nokia Dev team looks issue for Nokia 301.
    Can you/dev please write some update on developement acceptance/inprogress for the given features?  We will be happy and will wait for next release.
    Thanks,

  • Feature request: extra Include directive in default pacman.conf

    Since arch's move to systemd, cluster administration requires less and less use of sed.  In particular, systemctl, timedatectl, /etc/sysctl.d, /etc/modules-load.d, /etc/hostname, /etc/vconsole.conf, etc. make scripting configuration changes both simpler more robust than the old approach of editing multi-purpose files such as /etc/rc.conf.
    An exception to this trend is pacman.conf, which has non-trivial default contents that almost certainly needs to be customized (e.g., to enable multilib and local repositories).  These changes would be much simpler if the default pacman.conf included a line such as:
    Include = /etc/pacman.d/conf/*.conf
    Currently my scripts use sed to insert this line at the end of the [options] section.  (Unfortunately "Include = /etc/pacman.d/*.conf" doesn't work because there's sometimes a gpg.conf file in /etc/pacman.d, but maybe that could be fixed.)
    I don't know if the forum is the right place for feature requests, but I wanted to get people's reactions.  If people think it's a good idea I can add it as a feature request to the bug tracker.
    There are several other pieces of low-hanging fruit where I'd like to see arch decrease the complexity scripting configuration (e.g., an unattended pacman-key --populate and easier customization of mkinitcpio.conf), but I figured I'd start with the simplest and gauge people's reactions.

  • Feature request for the windows version section..

    Does there exist anywhere to raise feature requests for any future releases of MBSA?
    The additional system information section of the report, and "windows version", it would be useful if it could include service pack number number, as well as flag it as a vulnerability (red X) if the version/SP level identified is out of Microsoft
    support. That would be very useful.

  • Where can I get a succinct history of Firefox versions including the current and beta versions?

    I have just upgraded from 3.6 to 5.01 and received a message saying that this version is out of date, and that I should update to 6.0. OK, well I'd like to know just where, in the history of Firefox, this will put me. This is not the first time I have wondered about Firefox's version history and tried to find the information. It almost seems that you all are hiding the information or are ashamed of something (the number of releases, perhaps?) and are making it difficult to find this information. I do not understand the rationale behind making this information so difficult to find, if it is available at all.
    (BTW, I am a retired software sales engineer for Tivoli/IBM products.)
    Regards,
    Lynn Larsen

    Not hidden; not a secret. Relatively easy to find.
    Entering "firefox releases" (including quotation marks) into Google, you can get: https://encrypted.google.com/search?sclient=psy&hl=en&lr=&tbs=qdr%3Ay&source=hp&q=%22firefox+releases%22&btnG=Search
    *In the "Advanced Search" options, I have "Date" set to past year
    Second item, Releases-MozillaWiki, gives you future, current, and past releases.
    You will be seeing new version releases about every 6 weeks, with few version sub-numbers, if any, as you had with Firefox 3.6.x and prior.

  • Feature request: Send meeting updates *only* to those attendees affected bys the change.

    I'm uing iCal in lieu of Outlook in my organization's Exchange environment.  When I add a single invitee to a meeting, EVERY attendee gets spammed with an update and has to re-accept the meeting.
    I just switched back from Outlook '07 because it seems Exchange synchronicity with iCal has vastly improved over the last time I tried it, however this is a bit embarassing for me and annoying for meeting invitees.  Outlook '07 features the option I'm requesting.

  • Feature Request: Slideshow and Light table

    Hello
    I was hoping for two features in the next Lightroom:
    First a more professional audio-slideshow option. More parallel soundtracks possible on a timeline are a must I think. More editing tools for timing the slides and the audio as well. And the possibility to add video files would be good. Nowadays multimedia slideshows are getting more and more important in photo-journalism and I am afraid Lightroom is getting a little behind on that part. Since the slideshow option has its own separate panel in Lightroom, it might as well be a good one...
    Last week I saw the new Aperture 3. Although it is not perfect yet either (the main track is not editable), I really do think they got it right with their slideshow options ...
    Second, I would like to see a Light table (again like in Aperture) to quickly view/arrange a selection of pictures manually in the field. See what pictures work well together in a story/magazine and what pictures are still needed ...
    The current Survey view doesn't let me arrange the pictures manually. It starts moving pictures around without me being able to influence it.
    Kind regards
    Johannes Abeling

    I was also disappointed that video is not supported in the slideshow module -I currently have to use another solution when I want stills mixed with videos, would be great to be ablo to keep it all in LR!

  • Current and previous version of Pages are in conflict.

    Since installing the new version of Pages I'm unable to open the application on my Macbook Pro.  The menu bar appears but that's it...can't open existing documents or create new ones.  (works fine on my iPad and iPhone) I took it into the Apple store and confused them!  The final conclusion was that the 2 versions of Pages still existed and were in conflict thereby preventing either from opening. They wiped my machine and I reloaded everything manually per their instructions.  Pages opened successfully on the first attempt and has since gone back to not giving me anything but the menu bar.  I'm hesitant to take it back to the store since I'll probably be given the same results and the reloading process was a pain.  It does appear that both versions of Pages is still in existance on my Mac.  Suggestions?  OS X 10.9.2  Can't tell you the specifics abotu either version of Pages short of them being the 'new' Pages and the most recent previous version.

    What fools you must have at your local Apple Store!
    You tell the version of each application by looking in the Application menu when it is open or selecting it in Finder and hitting command i (Get Info).
    You should have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You were alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    If you can archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store.

  • Feature Request: Export and Import all or part of vCenter configuration from the GUI

    One of the challenges we face is how to recover a large vCenter to a different VM, without having to restore any databases or use vCenter VMs and databases on replicated storage. We currently have a PowerCLI based process for exporting vCenter configurations - vCenter settings, roles/privs, alarm definitions, datacenters/clusters/hosts - to an XML file, which can then be used to import that vCenter configuration into a recovery vCenter. Three part process - export the vCenter configuration, import the settings and structure (datacenters, clusters, alarms), then import the hosts. This last step pulls in the hosts once by one from the original vCenter, complete with their running VMs and once all hosts in a cluster are imported creates the required Resource Pools and moves the VMs in to them. A subsequent script moves all the VMs into appropriate blue folders based on their CMDB classification/OS.
    The above process is OK, but has a number of faults:
    It's all or nothing for a migration, unless there is some serious editing of the XML dump to extract, for example, a specific datacenter or cluster, which could if incorrectly done result in configuration issues, hosts not being imported, etc.
    It can't (at least not in vc4.x) migrate dvSwitches. If we have those in a datacenter, we're going to have to reconfigure the hosts and VMs back onto conventional vSwitches
    We'd really like to see a native tool built in to vSphere Client or the Web Client that will allow all or part of a vCenter configuration to be exported to an XML or other flat file and then imported into another vCenter in one easy step, taking running VMs, dvSwitches - the lot. In the same way you can export host and vCenter logs with a few clicks, it should be possible to do something similar for vCenter configurations. This would be useful for a number of things - vCenter recovery, vCenter upgrade, individual datacenter or cluster migration.

  • Feature Requests beyond BlackBerry OS10.3.1

    So, with 10.3.0 and 10.3.1 now officially released on the Passport and Classic, let's look forward!
    What feature request(s) would you like to see included in future updates, say OS10.3.2 and beyond? Of course, there's nothing official to this thread, but one never knows who might view it and get an idea or two to move foward.
    Please post your feature request below, and let's make sure BlackBerry has a good reference point for user-input on what we'd like to see.
    Let's simple short statements AND please add the value of your request (i.e., why that feature request has value to you):
    Ability to lock the volume keys (since they are so easliy pressed when retrieving from holster)
    Implement a shutdown confirmation screen to the top edge power key before shutting down (many pocket carrying users complain of device shutdowns in their pocket).
    Allow BlackBerry Protect to automatically backup and restore personal data, such as contacts (I trust BlackBerry to protect our data and other third party apps can do this already).
     **This thread is not for bug reports (i.e., the calendar glitches when I set the date) or for debate or discussion of the worthiness of a feature request.
    So, what would YOU like to see beyond 10.3.1?
    1. If any post helps you please click the below the post(s) that helped you.
    2. Please resolve your thread by marking the post "Solution?" which solved it for you!
    3. Install free BlackBerry Protect today for backups of contacts and data.

    PIN: C0005A9AA   Display/Scan Bar Code

    Cool! I was waiting for this, there are a few things I would like to see.
    OS 
    - No frames option (for the people that want this), this means that you swipe up it will never go to a active frame
    - Keep swiping to close, when you keep swiping up it will close the app/frame (like on playbook I think it was)
    - Auto reboot, choose a day, time when your phone restarts (and unlocks after reboot) this is nice for people that want their phone to reboot when they sleep so they have a fresh start and don't have to reboot during work day 
    - Alternative keyboard, everyone knows the BlackBerry keyboard is awesome.. but allow developers to create own keyboards (native, no android port)
    - Themes, One reason why people jailbreak iPhone or use Android or loved BBOS. Themes that will totally transform your phone, keyboard, colours will be nice for people that want to customize their device
    - Font type change, this was possible in BBOS. Some people like to have a different font.
    - Completely light OS, this is something personal; some people like dark theme, some people like light.. but with the latest BlackBerry OS 10.3.1 it is still mixed up, some parts are light some parts are dark. When selecting light theme everything should be light, all core apps, buttons, everything, when you select dark everything will be dark, and then there will be a customize option where you can set it for each app (core apps and layout) how you want it
    - Show date, time, signal always on top-option, Remember.. screenshots on internet are shown a lot, when posting a screenshot of a BlackBerry 10 app nobody knows its BlackBerry, with BBOS you always had time, signal, on top people knew it was a BlackBerry and would be nice to get this back, plus no need for swiping up to see the time
    E-mail
    - Able to create filters, example move e-mails from this person to this folder, and give them this colour or move everything with this word in header or subject and delete it forward it and more.
    - "Out of Office", able to set out of office for work emails / accounts as automatic reply
    Hub
    - More colours, now there are only a few
    Keyboard
    - Emoij button on the keyboard (including special characters)
    LED
    - More led colours and settings
    Cloud, Sync and backup
    - Create backup from your device instead of BlackBerry link and backup them to any cloud storage (or blackberry cloud)
    - Sync bookmarks and settings with your BlackBerry ID
    - Sync remember with your BlackBerry ID
    - Sync Wi-Fi networks and passwords with your BlackBerry ID
    - BlackBerry Cloud storage (5 or 10GB free and pay for more?)
    Blend
    - Webblend access your phone from a secure BlackBerry website so you don't have to install any program on a computer you maybe will only use for one day.
    BBM
    - Multiply login, access BBM on more devices (including a web version) at the same time
    - PIN transfer, take your BlackBerry PIN to your new device. I really liked my old BB pin but when I sold the device I lost it, it would be nice to be able to "keep" my BBM pin or get a personal pin
    - Add user my phone number if linked, BBM Pin is awesome but allow users to also add people with phone number so you can give your phone number or pin If my contacts get BBM but forget to give their pin they will just show because I have their phone number
    Device

  • Feature Request: Add multiple photos to catalog at once

    The API currently allows you to use catalog:addPhoto() to add a single photo to the catalog.
    This works fine, but a poor user experience when adding a number of photos (esp. dozens or hundreds) - there's a separate child progress bar for each, masking the overall progress, and if the user has a sound enabled on import, it plays the sound on each photo import. If there were a way to import multiple photos at once (or API options/params to disable both of the feedbacks), this would make for a better UX when importing a lot of pictures.

    Sorry. I'm having a hard time finding my way around these forums, and the search is less than helpful.

  • Premiere Pro CC Feature Request: add multiple Markers at defined times

    I'm about to post a feature request and wanted to check to see if anyone else was interested, as I've read that forum support can help to get feature requests added - and also just in case this feature already exists, and I've missed it in my Googling...!
    Here's the request:
    Brief title for your desired feature:
    Option to add multiple Markers to a timeline at defined times
    How would you like the feature to work?
    It would be great to have an option in the Markers drop-down menu or to be able to right-click on the Marker icon in the timeline and be able to choose "Add Multiple Markers at xxx minutes/seconds/frames".
    Why is this feature important to you?
    I often end up creating a lot of montages, and it would be great to be able to use this feature to drop a Marker (for example) every three seconds in my timeline so that I can then add a bundle of clips using Automate to Sequence. At the moment, I do this by clicking on the Playhead Position hot text and typing in 00:03, 00:06, 00:09, etc, and dropping a Marker at each point, and this feature would speed things up a bit. I've also been asked by students if this feature is available as well.
    If anyone else would be interested in this request, please let me know...!
    Thanks

    Yes, that's true, when using my method described above, Prem adds each clip from the first frame and cuts it off when it reaches the next Marker, then I use the Slip tool to get them to the bit I like. I'd just like to remove the step of typing the time into the Playhead Position counter by dropping Markers at set intervals or by choosing to use the first xx seconds in the Automate to Sequence dialogue. Either way, the request is in now, but it doesn't look like it'll gain a lot of traction...!
    Cheers for the responses, Jim.
