how to find out if a mirror is synced ?

With the recent big updates i have been looking for a way to determine if the mirrors i use for updating are in sync.

For the last update i manually activated ftp.archlinux.org in pacman.conf, did a pacman -Syu , answering NO then switched to another console.
There i deactivated ftp.archlinux.org in pacman.conf and ran pacman -Syu against my usual mirrors, then comapred the outputs.
The 3rd one i tried (belnet.be) was in sync.

I think pacman uses some kind of database for the repo contents, and comparing the db-files from ftp.archlinux.org with the db files of a mirror should be a possible solution to have pacman check if the mirror is in sync.

Where can i submit a suggestion to add this as a new sync option to pacman ?


Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
