Re: [arch-general] Implement sql/sqlite database for pacman local database

As the currently lead pacman developer... We will never have a sql (or other) database backend. When we did tests for the sync backends, using a single tar file gave the same speed-up as using some sql variant (and we still have not optimised any reading from that - for the sync "dbs", we always load all information regardless of what proportion is needed) I intend to move the local db to a single tar file too at some stage.
