DB Sig failed to download messages make it harder to see in the logs if there's something wrong.

[haydonryan]

Thank you for your work on pacoloco. Love it, love that it exists and it's a great tool, especially the prefetch component.

I recently had a problem where I wasn't getting any updates. While scanning the logs I saw a bunch of db.sigs failed to download - normal I thought, then realized that the .db was also failing.

Would it be possible to put behind a flag (or just an if) to not download sigs for the DBs? It would make the logs much easier to find errors, and also to setup logging rules and alerting (to indicate when there is a problem)

Could you please post the logs:

• from pacman operation that failed for you. please add --debug flag and it will print a lot of useful information
• from pacoloco when the failure happened

[haydonryan]

let me try that again....

If you could add a flag that doesn't attempt to download (or doesn't show failures of downloading sigs.)

I had a problem where the dbs were failing to download (was a problem with the mirror) but the logs have been rotated already.

But to give you an idea - there's just a lot of 404s, it'd be really nice to suppress them.

Don't need help debugging what the issue was - I moved to a different mirror, but the 404s in the logs don't help.

I'd like to do this aswell, the 404 downloads for the *.db.sig are very annoying in the log. Is there a flag that can be set to not download the .sig files?
