Works better IMO and doesn't add an extra step to package management. Maybe we should add a similar workaround in devtools for now, as all devs and TUs use it.
I was thinking about that too - it'd make a decent intermediate step.
Jason? What do you think, devtools is your baby
We can rebuild a patched devtools for now in the repos regardless. Have it look for either package name and rename it to the old style name? Any takers? I like the patch above.
Looks good, though we probably want some form of 'CARCH' in there.
Set a global "CARCH='i686'" and sed it out for x86_64 ?
devtools are updated with a patch now. It should be able to find packages with either name, and will rename them for now to the pacman2-compatible name.

I don't know if I want to release a version of devtools for this. It's a feature that will just have to be taken out when we want to move over to the -ARCH suffix for really.
Thoughts?
Well, it's not really a huge deal to push a new version is it? What are the downsides? In addition, the repos may have to remain in this state for a little bit, so we can get to the point where everyone has updated, and we have a new ISO - that could take a month of more. And a month of manually moving packages is gonna get tedious. I just figure, it's not a huge deal to push a new version, and it can't really cause any harm.
