Hi,
I'm looking into creating links databases for archlinux32 and saw (thanks, Eli) that they are created asynchronously by systemd timers here: https://git.archlinux.org/infrastructure.git/tree/roles/sogrep/files
I was wondering, if it wouldn't be better to create them during repo-add (and repo-remove) at a similar point, where *.files.db entries are created - ignoring deltas (can we ignore deltas already?), this would be somewhere down in db_write_entry() in repo-add - but even including deltas, it should not need changes at too many places.
However, before I start trying to patch repo-add and repo-remove to maintain a *.links.db, I wanted to ask if there are any objections to include this functionality there.
What is a links database?
