Best I can do after some initial hacking. Are there any assumptions we can make based on package name to trim the list so we don't have to check all PKGBUILDs?
This is done without a checkout of the full repo, using svn list and svn cat...
$ ./pkgfind 3ddesktop #first package in the repos Repo scan complete in 51ms Package -> 3ddesktop/
$ ./pkgfind bash Repo scan complete in 3809ms Package -> bash/
$ ./pkgfind libpano13 #median package in the repos Repo scan complete in 44170ms Package -> libpano13/
$ ./pkgfind zsync #2nd to last package in the repos Repo scan complete in 90997ms Package -> zsync/
These numbers are just going to grow...
And even more so when community packages are added... The svn repo needs a restructuring I think.

That's great. I love the kdemod guys - they have all the spirit and spunk that satellite projects should have. Can we make sure we stay in a... complementary mode, rather than try to compete with them? Hi,
i would love to see those packages split. I don't use kde as DE but maybe i will use some of their programs (e.g. kopete). Currently i would have to use kdemod's 3rd-party repos and include them to pacman.conf for installing those 1-2 apps, but would prefer to do this from arch's official ones. In my opinion people want to use kdemod because of the look and some other special tweaks as a complete DE rather than use their repository for maybe modified single programs, so i don't see any problems for the "complementary mode". Regards Tobias PS: I hope the way i comment this was correct.
