IIRC Abishek and Aaron have been recently working to implement "arch=any" in devtools etc.

May I kindly ask about the current status of that? If there's any work you would like to me to do, I might be able to give a hand.

I'm asking because I am about to do a mass update of the texlive packages, and that feature would be very convenient as all texlive packages save one are arch-independent. Some of them can also be very large (e.g. texlive-fontsextra with 136MB). So my question is: if the implementation of the arch=any feature is more or less imminent, I might wait before uploading the new texlive packages...

Hmmm, well basically the changes need to be tested and ironed out. And we need to ensure that the -any directories are scanned in all of our cron jobs.

My suggestion: check out the dbscripts repo, change the config file (I hope everything is in there) and then try to create/maintain a repo. It might be useful to copy a handful of packages from your pkgcache just to have some cruft in the DB

OK, I've just git-cloned dbscripts and devtools. BTW I notice that the summary, shortlog and log links on projects.archlinux.org give a garbled display. Only the "tree"s are displayed properly. I'll email you patches if I find something that needs fixing. F
