Hi,
currently, if I want to make a custom completion to complete a script with list of available packages, I need to copy _pacman_completions_all_packages function (and also _pacman_get_command) in my script.

For dpkg based systems, zsh provides a separate script which defines a function _deb_packages
# Usage: _deb_packages expl... avail|installed|uninstalled

http://zsh.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=zsh/zsh;a=blob;f=Completion/Debian/Type/_deb_packages;h=74b1518447dc78948225f2c2406ff79b64886c4e;hb=HEAD

Then, dpkg completion scripts use this function. And external completion can also use this public function.
So, would it be possible to separate low level functions (
_pacman_completions_all_packages, _pacman_completions_installed_groups, etc) and pacman completion in two seperate files ?
This task depends upon
