wouldn't it be better to just put base at the beginning of the package file? same result, smaller change, less hardcoding.

That won't change anything at all.

Another patch sent [#1] to make this work with pacman 3.4 and fix cleanup step.
Otherwise second step fails. This is because in "create" function from mkarchiso at cleanup step, will only delete sync database files from pacman, but does not delete *.tar.gz (newer on 3.4), then sync files are not regenerated on pacman -Sy if .*tar.gz exists => packages not found.

Lol. I didn't know this was maintained in archiso git. I guess from now on I'll push my changes into my archiso fork so they can be pulled from there.
