We should finally have proper aliases for these. Like packages-submit.archlinux.org and community-submit.archlinux.org.
what is the purpose of those?
Hostnames for subversion and package upload that devtools can use. This is the umpteenth time that the host name changes - these aliases would solve this problem transparently.
We can also use a config file for devtools programs instead of have config vars harcoded in scripts.
The hostnames are "hardcoded" in your subversion checkout - and migrating the checkout is annoying, because subversion sucks. Why are you guys arguing against having two extra DNS CNAMEs to make everyone's lives easier?
