When an application is broken after several system updates (pacman -Syu) you typically know _when_ it was working, but not which library versions you had then. So without downgrade(r) one browses the A.R.M. and looks at the package timestamps - yes they are there. Anyway thanks for the package! Maybe I'll have a use case in the future...

> Would be more useful when listing package dates and supporting a --date option. Sorry, I don't think I'll implement this. I'm not sure the info's available and this tool is meant to stay as simple as possible. If it can be done in an extremely simple way, I would certainly review a PR though. Also, when you research a problem and decide downgrading is the solution, you'll typically know to what version you have to downgrade. I don't see the usefulness of dates here.

@SanskritFritz: Suggestions for improvement are not meant as troll food.

@nonerd: Would be useful if you actually did maintain at least one package for reference we all could learn from.

I think it's fixed. Sorry!

Ah crap, I do less testing on the bash-completion since I'm a zsh user. Let me see if I can figure it out...

I'm getting this with the newest version: -bash: /etc/bash_completion.d/downgrade: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `;;' -bash: /etc/bash_completion.d/downgrade: line 5: ` COMPREPLY=($(compgen -W "$(pacman -Qqs "^$cur")")) ;;'

Dropped v5 -- greatly simplified and thus changed usage. See man downgrade for details.

WovenTales, I'd love to give downgrade some sort of --provider option or maybe just use an ARM_SOURCE environment variable, but the alternate sources would have to offer the same interface as the current source. Do you know what kind of interface/API iprimus is offering?
