Fixing performance issues with pacman module

Hey all,

two weeks ago I spotted a performance problem when using the pacman module and described it in #31223. I would like to start working on a pull request to fix this problem, but I didn’t get any feedback at all. I am more than willing to help and fix this problem, but I don’t want to invest time and work just to get my pull request burried under the 1100 other pull requests. Will there be someone to review my pull request if I manage to fix the problem?

Greetings,
Jonas Schürmann

Hi Jonas

Hey all,

two weeks ago I spotted a performance problem when using the pacman
module and described it in #31223
<https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/31223&gt;\. I would like to start
working on a pull request to fix this problem, but I didn't get any
feedback at all. I am more than willing to help and fix this problem,
but I don't want to invest time and work just to get my pull request
burried under the 1100 other pull requests. Will there be someone to
review my pull request if I manage to fix the problem?

I am not that much into Arch and pacman but if you make a PR I would
review it.

Most important thing here is that the PR does not break backwards
compatibility. One of the ways to keep backwards compatibility is to add
a param for "switching" to a new behavior.

Ping me when the PR is ready by adding "ping @resmo" to it.

René

Thanks, that’s great! I will pay attention to backwards compatibility when I create the pull request.
