Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
It would be nice to be able to separately do a pre backup and post backup.
This would help if an update needs to aborted or errors out and no backup was done.
I would be willing to donate my dev time if needed or help in other ways.
Thanks in advance!
I am unsure what you mean, the pre- and post backup are not dependend on the clean exit of the updating part.
As long as the script itslef doesn't abort, this already happens?
Are you on the newest version?
If you meant smth else or if you have an example, please do tell me.
I can see how this misunderstanding happened. What I wanted to suggest is that one could do a backup independent of updating the system.
Example:
update --backup
This would just do a backup in which all the pacman files are getting backed up without doing any updates. Such a feature would allow for the program to be used in other pacman hooks as a sort of backup mechanism.
I hope this clarifies my suggestion.
