568 been updated (currently only works with FTP)
569 2.9 - Improved -Rs functionality -- pacman now tracks why a package
570 is installed: explicitly, or as a dependency for another

599 - Made --noconfirm actually work. Go me.

605 - Modified dependency resolution to prefer packages explicitly
606 requested on the cmdline instead of those pulled in by

609 be used instead of "xorg"
610 - Added patch from Jason Chu:
611 - Smarter file-conflict checking with symlinked paths and

630 prevents those nasty "Text file busy" errors when you

633 downgrade packages when it needs to
634 2.7.8 - added post_remove scriptlet support
635 - added -Qs option (FS#854)
636 - a provisio does not imply conflict, to make a provisio target
637 conflict with anything else that provides the same thing, you

669 conflicting package would fail even if the new package
670 "provided" it
