How about adding a count of satisfied and unsatisfied fetch restrictions in the summary information at the end of the --pretend output?
Created attachment 101800 [details, diff] display a fetch restriction summary if there is as least 1 fetch restriction This patch adds an additional line of output if there is as least 1 fetch restriction. If any are unsatisfied, then the unsatisfied count is shown in red. For example: Fetch Restriction: 2 packages (1 unsatisfied)
This is in svn r5038.
wow... what can I say? Thanks!
Thank you for the suggestion. ;) This has been released in 2.1.2_rc1-r7.
