Maybe this patch can be used for a pacman 2.9.9 release ?
Just to have http mtime support in Arch Linux 0.8.
There are some good points for including the patch: - http works much better than ftp with port cmd behind most firewalls - the http head command is a lot faster then the ftp stuff -> one http head vs. multiple ftp commands - most current mirror server admins would prefer http over ftp for security reasons -> I think, but I dont know this ;)
i like the feature you provide in this patch, just i don't care about pacman-2.x anymore. i primarily develop pacman for Frugalware and of course i use this list to send the changes back to "upstream" (Judd). (and we use pacman-3.x in Frugalware for more than a year) anyway, basically it looks ok to me, but Judd is your man, really (Aurelien is not available for months) udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org
