I have finally put the tools I use to sync my local repo and to create those magic rebuild lists into a git repo. I polished them to increase usability and portability, but they are not really ready to be run e.g. on gerolde.

I just added a simple integrity check for a repo: https://git.archlinux.de/repo-tools.git/tree/checkrepo

Any ideas why writing that md5sums.txt is so slow?

Try something like this: cat `find $tmp/$repo/$arch -iname desc` | egrep -i -A1 "filename|md5" | tr -d '\n' | sed 's/%FILENAME%/\n/g' | sed 's/%/ /g' | sed 's/--/ /g' | awk '{print $3 " " $1}' > $tmp/md5sums.txt and adapt to your needs. This should be really fast, way faster than using a for loop to read each file.
