We *are* a collective here. And it is a busy time of the year. I'm
sure anyone can build these.

If you want access to my build machine, send me a private email so I
can give you credentials.

That said, there's also these packages:
http://dev.archlinux.org/~andyrtr/pkg_diff.html

If not, I guess I will have to build them. sigh

Yes, I know were a collective, and I know we share the workload. That's why I haven't taken on more packages myself, so that I can keep the reds in that difflist down. Me and Eric build for community too by the way.

The reason why I asked about the missing packages is not to point fingers, or not to pass the workload to someone else, but to know if there's a reason for their absence in the ftp site. Thanks Jan and Alex for clearing this up :)

P.S - We really need to push more TU's to use your build machine. I fantasize someday where all TU's use your build machine.. and I don't have to update a 100 MB texlive-fonts package I know nothing about. Perhaps a front page news item saying such a build machine exists?
