devtools - split-PKGBUILDs with (supported in future pacman): -> both binary and arch=any packages
This should be doable. But I guess we need to check the cleanup-scripts, too. They might get confused.
-> overridden pkgver -> overridden pkgrel (and only selected sub-packages)
This is not easy and you would need a repo dir for every split package; otherwise the PKGBUILD in the abs tree wont match the packages in the repo.
- support for xz compression (nothing needed?)
Afaik I already committed everything for this.
db-scripts - support for xz compression transition (e.g. in clean-up script)
support for several compression methods is already there; but not at the same time. It's more complicated than it sounds. This is very likely the next issue I'll look at.
- support for single "package" directory with symlinks to repos - allow db-move to handle multiple packages (or add a script to help moving from community-testing)
Looks like Aaron has patches for this in his git repo
- delta support...
That should be the last thing we want to implement. We should have xz support, package pooling and a multi tier mirror setup first to handle the extra traffic that comes with delta packages. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
