Add .files support for pacsync #60

Closed AladW closed 2 years ago

AladW commented 2 years ago

The command

pacsync myrepo

allows to retrieve .db files for a given repo, but it does not retrieve .files. Since pacman -Fy (like pacman -Sy) applies to all repositories only, it seems useful for pacsync to also support this.

Alternatively, a new command could be added which operates on .files databases (like pacman -F).

--dbext=.files ?
