Hi,

I took repo-add from the pacman package and one built from the latest 
git will all Xavier's patches and made a repo db from all packages in my 
cache (all of testing, core and extra, some community).  There are a few 
differences (see http://dev.archlinux.org/~allan/repoadd-diff.txt). 

A summary of the differences:

A bunch of packages have the ARCH field removed:
-%ARCH%
-i686

A few differences to do with quotes. e.g.
-custom:INTEL537
+custom:"INTEL537"
and
+%DESC%
+Efficient bit vector, set of integers and "big int" math library

This change is not so good...  (k3b-i18n package)
 %DEPENDS%
-k3b>=1.0.5-1
+k3b>=$pkgver

Allan
