Maybe I missed the discussion on this one...

I was trying to work on pacbuild but quickinst doesn't work for me.

If I'm not mistaken, we should have a setup directory in core/os/i686, right? Is there a reason why we don't? Is this all we need to convert over to the new repo layout?

Just for the record, if you have access to cvs-arch, you can commit these scripts. Fixes like this are always important 8)
