Hi.

I've been using pachist since I was introduced to it a few years ago.
For some reason it stopped keeping track 25 oct 2019.
I tried to remove the script and reinstall it but with the same result. Nothing new after that date.

Hi there,

Thanks a lot for your neat script. Really a lifesaver to quickly being able to review the installed packages!

I noticed a small conflict with colours when using the solarized colours in urxvt:

I started the discussion on this in the respective thread on the Arch Linux forums and it seems that this is not an issue of the colour scheme but rather of the program.

What is your take on this and how to fix it?

Thanks for your advice!

Now with the --quiet option it got me thinking. It would be nice to have ability to select a specific range of lines instead of the tail based we have now. The syntax should be kept as close as possible to the one already existing but smarter.

ex..
pachist -q 3-5
pachist -q {3,4,6}

or something similar...

There's a bug in empathy that I have to patch everytime there's an update. Recently empathy started to act weird and I suspected that pacman -Su had updated it without me noticing it. So, I did a pachist 20000 | grep empathy and yes, there was an update I had missed.

Anyhow, it would be great if pachist had the ability to filer/grep one or several packages. Something like this:

A numbered list could be good to have when using -q flag. To help determine from which package to where the output should be. A simple -n flag and $(tac | nl | tac) would probably do it.

Example output:

pachist -n 3
3 package1
2 package2
1 package3

Would be cool to be able to search by date.. you maybe want to go back to a date and see what you installed that day.

when I update my system and it comes to pachist, this shows;
:: Searching AUR for updates...
:: Checking development packages...
-> devel check for package failed: '/usr/bin/git ls-remote git://github.com/shellkr/pachist.git master' encountered an error

Not sure if this is something serious but thought I should mention it.
Still very grateful for this fantastic helpful script

not an issue but a great program so thank you for this. I 've been using it since you showed it to me the first time.

i'll try to promote it now and then as it deserves more cred and it is reaally helpful
