are there plans for a i686 built-machine?
For pacbuild, absolutely. This, however, is something different. It's possibly to setup a 32bit chroot on a 64bit machine (as 64bit machines will run 32bit code), but it is not really possible to do the other direction (last I checked). So this machine is here for people who don't have 64bit hardware, or do but don't want to wipe their machines just yet.
my old machine is dying slowly but steadily and i do not yet have a bigger harddrive on my new one... so i'm kind of handicapped on i686 atm.
@ all : if you find some x86_64 pkgs of mine not updated/build for i686, this is the reason - feel free to build them if you have the resources. thanx
Well is this is a problem at this moment, I can look into this. In fact, I might be able to setup a 32bit chroot on the same machine, which would make everything easier.
