weird idea, but i'm putting it here anyway:

some pkgs are arch-independend (e.g. fonts). they can actually be built and commited to i686 and x86_64 at the same time, since the bindiff of the pkg is nonexistant.

any chance to have this in devtools implemented? or generally asked: do you like the idea?

the main advantage is, that this pkgs need to be uploaded only once (and then just copied to the other staging dir)

This is similar to the idea of -any (or -all) arch suffix support for pacman packages, discussed in details on pacman-dev ML. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

I think this might be usefull. We have to introduce an arch=('none') or similar then. -- archlinux.de

I would love it. Especially when I think about how painful it is to build all koffice-l10n just once already. Would be nice to be able to build them for all at once and upload only once too. :) There's a few other things that could benefit, basically most of what's in i18n for example or if ever we come up with a extra/doc.
