Added command 'pacman -Qe' Hey there, I took the liberty to add the command `pacman -Qe` for listing all and only the explicitly installed packages (`-e` option), still showing versions. Useful when you want a concise list of the packages you have without all the dependencies. 2015-12-29 12:20:11 +01:00
