[pacman-dev] [PATCH] repo-add: symlink to db file to reponame.db

[Allan McRae]

This is a small step towards allowing pacman to handle databases
with variable compression types.

Although this does relatively little, it would be good to have
it in before pacman-3.4 so that in a later release we could set
DBEXT=.db or get rid of it altogether.
