[SOLVED] Maintaining a pacman-respiratory

I started setting up a repo for pacman last night, and after looking through some other repo's I found out that I needed a reponame.db.tar.gz and packages.txt file, so I sat them up manually to test the repo.

But I wonder if there's any tool or something to automaticly generate the reponame.db.tar.gz and packages.txt files? I've allready tried searching the wiki, but couldn't find anything...

gensync to genereate db.tar.gz:

gensync will generate a sync database by reading all PKGBUILD files
from <root>.  gensync builds the database in a temporary directory
and then compresses it to <destfile>.

I don't know any to generate pkg list (except pacman -Q)
