Still, part of the reason the pacman3 DB format hasn't changed much is for easy of transition. I don't feel comfortable saying "run this script to convert your DB" or something like that.... so basically it needs to be thought out well in advance.
No need to make them run a script - the difference in DB format is obvious enough for pacman3, on first run, to detect the 'old' format based on the db structure, output a message like ==> pacman has detected an older version of the database, and must update it. This will happen only once, please wait... and do the conversion automatically on first run. Just my two cents. :) -- Travis
