554 2.9.1 - --refresh now only downloads fresh packages lists if they've
555 been updated (currently only works with FTP)
556 2.9 - Improved -Rs functionality -- pacman now tracks why a package
557 is installed: explicitly, or as a dependency for another

581 - Added "Include" directive to include repositories from
582 config files (inspired by Michael Baehr's patch)
583 - Added patch from Jason Chu:
584 - Even smarter file-conflict checking
585 2.8.2 - Fixed a segfault bug in file-conflict checks
586 - Made --noconfirm actually work. Go me.
587 2.8.1 - Added a HoldPkg option in pacman.conf, for the more
588 exploratory users who run things like "pacman -R pacman". It
589 will ask for confirmation before removing any packages listed

591 - Added a --noconfirm switch for use with script automation
592 - Modified dependency resolution to prefer packages explicitly
593 requested on the cmdline instead of those pulled in by

596 be used instead of "xorg"
597 - Added patch from Jason Chu:
598 - Smarter file-conflict checking with symlinked paths and
599 with files that move from one package to another

620 downgrade packages when it needs to
621 2.7.8 - added post_remove scriptlet support
622 - added -Qs option (FS#854)
623 - a provisio does not imply conflict, to make a provisio target

656 conflicting package would fail even if the new package
657 "provided" it
