I'm just checking if this could be a reasonable idea and if so I'd look into providing a patch. Would it be feasible to add a %PATHNAME% variable to the sync desc file ? For instance in this case, fetching "any" arch packages would not need to symlinked into the same directory to be found... %FILENAME% hotstuff-0.9.2-1-any.pkg.tar.bz2 %PATHNAME% ../any/ It may provide repo maintainers with some flexibility (hard to test without it being possible) and perhaps %PATHNAME% could also be a URL and that might also be interesting, but the simple relative path prefix would be useful. Any thoughts? --markc
