Ok, you want a fake db files with all versions of the same package. No, he just wants a directory with every version of each package in it. He won't ever update the db (no `pacman -Sy`) but can still install any

If that's too big a directory to index, just drop an empty `index.xhtml` in it. People don't need to list its contents, they just need to know that they can have their pacman look for any version of any package there.
Exactly spot-on - except that I will do `pacman -Sy`periodically but not necessarily before installing a new package. Also areed that indexing or browsing it is not a requirement. Many thanks to you.
