Number of packages in a repository

Hi,

Is there a way to query the number of packages in a given repository by means of pacman. Or yaourt, perhaps.

Don't know of a direct way, though you could pipe the output of pacman -Sl though wc

expac has a repo option; you could play with that...

Using mcmillan's idea:

pacman -Sl | grep *repo* | wc -l

For example, to get a count of how many packages are in multilib:

 pacman -Sl | grep multilib | wc -l
149

pacman -Sl core | wc -l
