Ok, you want a fake db files with all versions of the same package.
No, he just wants a directory with every version of each package in it.
He won't ever update the db (no `pacman -Sy`) but can still install any
package he needs with `pacman -S` using the outdated local db he has.

If that's too big a directory to index, just drop an empty `index.xhtml`
in it. People don't need to list its contents, they just need to know
that they can have their pacman look for any version of any package
there.

Exactly spot-on - except that I will do `pacman -Sy`periodically but
not necessarily before installing a new package.
Also areed that indexing or browsing it is not a requirement.
Many thanks to you.

An easy way would be to let nginx rewrite urls from /arm/pool/X-pkgname to /arm/packages/X/X-pkgname. In the meantime this could also be achieved with a custom DLAGENT in pacman.
