Using repo filelists (like with "pkgfile")
Arch's repositories provide lists of the files contained in each package. As far as I know, the only thing making use of that data is the "pkgfile" tool from community/pkgtools. Are there other such tools that I don't know about? It seems strange that there is a feature implemented in the repos that no "official" package make use of.
I also remember that, a while back, there used to be a link from each package's description page to its file list. Where did that feature go and why? I miss having it there.

There are no other tools that I know of.
The website feature disappeared ages ago... I do not know why, but given we generate file lists already, it should not be hard to re-add. Maybe file a feature request.
