Slightly changing the topic... We have plenty of space on our PIA-sponsored mirrors. Given that said fork pretty strictly follows our PKGBUILDs (much alike to ARM team), I'd like to host arch32 mirrors there as well. What do you think?
I don't mind, but in the end it's up to those who pay for the mirrors.
It does bring up the topic again on how the Arch community will support arch32. Does hosting arch32 mirrors give the impression that we support the fork through our channels, or is that unrelated? How will we otherwise react on support requests for or from arch32? IMO, the announcement is vague on that.
(Personally I would support the idea of having both projects under a common umbrella. But by now arch32 has their own support infrastructure, including forums).
Well, I doubt they wanted to be caught by surprise and have nothing ready if we decided not to allow support requests for arch32... But if we are willing to allow arch32 to be hosted under our umbrella, the presence of separate infrastructure should not IMHO cause us to go back on that and therefore cause additional fragmentation that we were initially okay with avoiding. -- Eli Schwartz
