I know this is not the right way to do it but it's a first attempt to get a feel for how to do it properly... I have built an -any package and uploaded it into it's own area with it's own [repo] stanza and successfully added that same package to both an i686 and x86_64 system. I could not do this pre v3 pacman with i868 or x86_64 in the filename.
What I am unsure of is, in this example, how to add the -any package to both 32bit and 64bit *.db.tar.gz files so that the -any package, in a different area, can still be downloaded... ie; will relative paths work ?
I'm not sure, to be honest. I doubt it, as relative paths would lock people into having the same repository layout if it is mirrored. Your best bet is probably to set up some symlinks/hardlinks to the appropriate places, which should do the job. -Dan
