Good catch. I tested this myself yesterday and just wondered why there was a delay even if the PKGINFO files was already read and printed. Does this mean that now extracting PKGINFO can be done in constant time no matter how big the package is?
This should be the case, as long as .PKGINFO is always the first file in the archive. makepkg ensures this when it zips, but anyone playing tricks could screw this up- however, that just means these packages would take longer. -Dan
