Re: [pacman-dev] [PATCH] Add script to update pacman database format

The pacman-db-upgrade script was added to detect old pacman database formats and upgrade them.

Currently performs the merging of depends files into desc files in the local database.

When is this expected to be released? I'll need to update perl-xyne-arch to handle this and it would be useful if I could insert a versioned dependency to prevent any breakage during the transition period. Am I correct in believing that the file format remains the same and that the merger is a simple insertion of the depends file into the desc file?
