Hi,
I am intending to make one after applying a few patches that have been sent to the mailing lists. I know that are few people are already using a git version for community and arch=any support so it should be good to go.
Does anyone know of anything blocking a devtools release?

I've been using a git version (with the fixes I submited in the ML. I'll need to check if they were all commited to git) of the devtools for a while and it's working well. The only major issue is that commit doesn't work for split packages. You need to scp, svn commit, archrelease manually. I started looking into it with the intention of simply using a wildcard (scp *${PKGEXT}). However, if a package is not in the trunk directory, commitpkg looks in $PKGDEST for the package. So wildcards won't work. As splitted packages can have have their own pkgver and/or pkgrel, the question is to figure out which pkgver and pkrel goes with which pkgname. I don't have any idea on how to do that. If someone has any idea/hints, I could work out the details. Eric
