I haven't found a way to reliably download the official package signature files along with the packages themselves through creative use of pacman. I do not REALLY want to fetch the .sig files in another step from the mirror I am using, as that'd require me to construct package FILE names myself instead of just throwing pacman a "core/filesystem=2012.2-2" and let pacman figure out my architecture and download location. I DO want to have package signing available for my local copy, though.
Is there a way to grab the .sig files along with the package files with pacman, and place them somewhere neat as the CacheDir, for instance?
pacman -S uses the signature files from the database file, it does not download them as single files. They are contained in the $pkgname-$pkgver-$pkgrel/desc file inside the .db tarball.
