I'm experimenting with IPFS and I need the IPFS-style hash to be included in the pacman database along with MD5SUMs and SHA256SUMs.
I'm trying to rebuild the pacman database tarballs (e.g. core.db.tar.gz) including the new hash (of course, I have already downloaded all the packages).
I suppose I can uncompress the database, append my hash at the end of "desc" and recompress it.
But there should be a stardard tool that produces the package database, can someone point me to it?

repo-add is used to generate repository archives. I'm not sure it supports IPFS at the moment.

Thank you!
At this point it doesn't support it, but I plan to write a patch for it.
Once I figure out how to create and distribute the IPFS-enhanced database, other people will be able to just use it with the standard pacman.
