Yes, that's what we're supposed to do; it was probably an oversight. Splitting big docs like this  will be easy once  the new makepkg with multi-arch support for split package will be out (assuming the dbscripts can handle it).

The dbscripts do not handle that.  They also do not handle only uploading one or some packages from a split package (pkgrel can now be overridden and a selection of packages updated).

They also can't handle split packages with different pkgver or pkgrel. So they'll need a major maintainance update indeed.  There is a pending dbscripts update.  Maybe we should release it before starting to work on them to support the new features in the upcoming makepkg.

I think everything is in there and live in /arch-test/

Can I get one or two "go aheads" to move it live? Then we can work on this malarky.

I've been using /arch-test/ since you set it up. I haven't encountered any problems.  You'll also need to add the sourceballs and source cleanup scripts to the cron jobs.

Ok, I'll do the move soon. How often should the sourceball cleanup run? As often as the package cleanup?
