Of the suggestions so far, I see "pacman -S --documented" as the clearly best, truly like this one :) You could then also add a line to the pacman info database, e.g. "pacman -Qi python" would produce something like this: Name : python Version : 2.4.1-1 Groups : None Packager : Arch Linux (http://www.archlinux.org) URL : http://www.python.org License : Documented : Yes ... nicke _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
