[arch-general] filelists for packages

[Abhishek Dasgupta]

Thanks to Pierre, we have filelists for all packages at
http://dev.archlinux.org/~pierre/test-repo/ [1]

I made a small script which downloads the *gz from his repo
and allows one to find out which package has a particular file:

#!/bin/bash

store="$HOME/.local/share/pac-file" # default location
repos=(core extra community)
a=$(uname -m)
url="http://dev.archlinux.org/~pierre/test-repo";

if [ -f $HOME/.config/pac-file.conf ];then
        . $HOME/.config/pac-file.conf
fi


case $1 in
  sync)
        echo "synchronising file cache"
        cd $store
        for i in [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        do
            rm files.db.tar.gz
            rm -rf $i; mkdir $i
            wget $url/$i/os/$a/files.db.tar.gz
            tar zxf files.db.tar.gz -C ./$i
        done
        echo "sync complete."
        ;;
  search)
        cd $store
        grep -R $2 . | sed "s/\.\/\(.*\)\/files:/\1 /g"
        ;;
  *)
        echo "usage: $0 {sync|search}"
esac
exit 0

Thanks Pierre!
