[arch-general] Making pacman check multiple repos

[ludovic coues]

As far as I've understand the main problem, it's about mirror which are not
up-to-date.
So could it be possible to make a dummy package of the day ?

Every morning, the main server will produce a dummy package containing the
today's timestamp. So if the dummy package is 3 days old, this means that
the master mirror is down, or that the mirror haven't synced since 3 days.

After this, it's easy to ask to pacman to print an error message if the
dummy package is 3 or 7 or whatever you have said to pacman days old.
