With commit 5dffef78, the repo database always has a symlink of the form reponame.db. Use that filename and let libarchive determine the compression type.
Hmm. I was wondering why couldn't pacman be programmed to understand a compressed repo db with the file extension. If pacman can do it with packages, then it shouldn't be too hard, should it? I think I'd prefer keeping the extensions.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say here.
This addresses the problem of transforming
[myrepo] Server = http://example.com/foo/bar/baz
into
"I need to fetch http://example.com/foo/bar/baz/myrepo.db"
Aah right. I was confused about this. Thanks for the clarification.
