Hi,
The current heimdal package does not build due to an autoconf update (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16015). I have a patch that can be applied to fix that but I do not particularly want to rebuild given it does not affect the actual package. It is also a bit of a waste of time applying the patch only to trunk as a new heimdal release will occur before any rebuild is likely to be needed.
Can I apply the patch and archrelease core-{i686,x86_64} or would that require a sign-off?
As long as you don't touch the binary package, there's no reason to signoff. The package doesn't build at this moment, and if it's still broken after your fix, nothing has changed. The signoff procedure is because you don't want your binary pkg to screw up systems.
