I've been thinking of another solution, include some more information in .FILELIST eg:
# directory name d usr d usr/bin # file name checksum f usr/bin/foo md5sum # link name target l usr/bin/bar foo
This way we can get the md5sum from the file list rather than having to extract the file to get it's md5sum.

Oh actually, I had the same idea (for the md5sum part), after reading what Baptiste said there : http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7485#comment17453 that .FILELIST could be extended. Since that md5sum computation was annoying me, I thought it would be nicer if it was directly in .FILELIST. Maybe that looked like a silly idea, so I never talked about it :)
