Upgrade enhancements: list packages from all sources at once, allow user to filter the list before upgrading about yay

Much colors, such wow :doge: 😄
I like it, especially the highlighted diff, whether it is a version change or only a new pkgrel.

I'll be testing the branch. So far I saw one issue: the code is not respecting IgnorePkg from /etc/pacman.conf:

Before it was like that:

So far it's looking good, I'm using it and everything works as expected 👍
I'm fine with merging this and closing the issue.

[Jguer]

True, that's very useful.

Updating the cache is a privileged action, so yay would have to run as superuser and break makepkg (From what I gather privilege deescalation is not implemented).

For now we could run sudo pacman -Sy to update the cache and then do the parsing manually Jguer/go-alpm@260d638.

Off-topic so I don't forget: there's a human function in the go-alpm package that can be used if exported instead of having another one yay

[Jguer]

It's working, not really good for merging yet until it's better tested and still not sure about the UX.

[Jguer]

My bad, forgot that config variable, I'll add it in. I also see your -> are not centered, still haven't been able to fix that

[maximbaz]

Is it intended that there is a difference whether I use -Syu or -Su?

[Jguer]

I think it's only missing --noconfirm support and development package support (still needs to be redone in pacaur fashion) but I would also feel comfortable merging after adding noconfirm.

[maximbaz]

Now that you mention it, I noticed that this branch is not updating development packages anymore. Compare how the build from AUR vs the build from the parallelUpdate branch work:

@Jguer another issue:

Thanks for the fix 🙂

One more bug, or rather a little annoyance - the app gets stuck if there is nothing to update:

[kode54]

How do I enable this feature? I somehow have it enabled on a fresh install on a server, but it doesn't work on my desktop, which I just installed a few days ago.

E: I just realized that I had imported a ~/.config/yay/config.json from my previous server setup, which I pre-configured on a desktop machine long ago. I have thus imported this configuration to my new desktop. It would still be helpful to document this, though.

--combinedupgrade
              During sysupgrade, Yay will first perform a refresh, then
              show its combined menu of repo and AUR packages that will
              be upgraded. Then after reviewing the pkgbuilds, the repo
              and AUR upgrade will start with no need for manual
              intervention.

Also you may be refering to this

I believe it's this you were searching

Oops. I didn't know there was a manpage, or that the option was referenced there. Sorry about that. Also, I'm not really using it to skip packages, only to display a version number difference summary.
