Thomas has added the new scripts to /arch-new The devtools pacakge in testing 
is the first xz compressed package. Everybody say hurray!

If you upload xz packages with the devtools make sure PKGEXT in your 
makpekg.conf is set to .pkg.tar.xz.

PS: we figured out that the dbscripts on sigurd are quite outdated and thus 
wont remove old packages. So this will be fixed once we update those, too.
