Exactly, my understanding is that with XferCommand we delegate an
external command to manage the downloads.
The advantage of having a dedicated wait command/parameter

Hi,
The general idea is to make it possible to have multiple XferCommand
running in parallel.
Rather than trying to keep track of multiple XferCommand, I thought it
would be much easier to let XferCommand to fork/send request to a
daemon and die; then let pacman call a final script `XferLockCommand

So if you have an update with 150 p
The idea here is that if XferLockCommand is set, XferCommand can be
non-blocking; all invocations of XferCommand are executed and only
then XferLockCommand is executed to wait for all the downloads to
complete.
I am also thinking of changing XferLockCommand to XferWaitCommand, if
you have better n
