Anyway this seems to work for all combination (4) of gnutar/bsdtar, so it is still my preferred solution : tar cvzf test.tar.gz -T /dev/null tar xf test.tar.gz
Looks fine to me; and I think we should implement this. The point is that its not easy to determine if there is a server/mirror error or if the repo is just empty.
Looks like Dan implemented it already :) http://code.toofishes.net/cgit/dan/pacman.git/commit/?h=maint&id=7f14f185a2d05650e1f99f4ec40d60b597e8b0c7 Would a server/mirror error still produce a valid tar.gz file ?
