is there a simple way to check binary hashes?

i try to find a easy way to compare installed binary hashes with hashes from the mirror server (or at least with the hashes in the pacman cache)

i guess there must be a solution available already, but i couldn't find it.

(on debian this is done with: debsum)

thx

pacman -Qkk will check size, modification time and permissions. We are waiting on libarchive support to do checksum checking, but someone could write a tool to do it in the meantime. Also, not all packages have the needed mtree file yet (although the number is getting smaller).
