You can hardly compare the libarchive and the backend things.
Replacing libtar by libarchive is purely an internal change. Users won't even notice it. It could be done at any time, in any release. It does not matter.
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2005-October/000009.html i thought based on that mail that you won't do it before 3.0. which is quite different from _any_ time :)
Anyway, my first mail was maybe not clear, but there's only one thing my patch is about: implementing correctly the sync database upgrade, by taking the opportunity of pacman 3 release to do it without additional troubles for users. This will get ride of the "ORE" tag in alpm.c:alpm_db_update. And AFAIK, _this_ is on the TODO.
ok, thanks for the clarification. i thought you would start to work on a whole gdbm implementation ;) udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org
