You can add to your list that the RPC currently includes all architecture dependent (make)depends in the same arrays. See here for details.

Added, thanks for the reminder.

pacman vercmp alpha '' results in -1 (alpha < "") FS#49093

Submitted fix at https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2017-December/022211.html At least, empty strings are still considered valid version strings, but passing only one argument is now an error.

pacman vercmp alpha '' results in -1 (alpha < "") FS#49093

What's the dead end here? vercmp alpha is now a fatal error in the latest stable release. I don't think it's strictly necessary to call vercmp with quoted arguments, as any actual version in the wild, with a space in it, is invalid and can be checked as such -- vercmp doesn't do any checks at all to determine whether a pkgver is invalid or not.

From the bug report:

Well, vercmp is useful in other cases, such as comparing sync/local versions (with pacman --print or expac) against the AUR RPC (with curl/json). If either string is empty, you'd have to be aware of the limitation, and workaround by e.g. setting -1 yourself if the variable is empty.

Anyway in this case I'd expect detecting a nonexistent package to be implemented via checking the returned contents of curl/expac, rather than making assumptions about the version comparison.

I guess it can be handled in a satisfactory way from the caller, unlike any of the other "dead end" issues. I moved it to "closed".

Great, we're now even closer to "all dead ends lead to aurweb". :D

pacsift: no output if --sysroot is specified andrewgregory/pacutils#26

Should be marked as done I think, upstream issue was solved.
