Hi, it has been discussed many times in the past. Bottom line is, if you want to do that go ahead, the developers wont help you. Meaning this will not be an official project.
It's true that there won't be an official project, but it doesn't mean there won't be any help. People who know me will know that while I don't always have much time to do work, I always try to give good advice, and that is what I would also offer anyone who would start such a project. There will definitely be help and support from the dev team, but whoever decides to do this will have to do the actual work himself or herself.
Yes i know. After all if you look at the wiki link AndyRTR is listed at the people willing to help. A sidenote: The official replies eg. from phrakture, that a stable branch will not ever be part of Arch come mostly because noone has done it yet. If a group of people who are willing to do this devote time and whatever else is needed and there is adequate demand, and if such a project actually matures it *might* be part of Arch at some point. A bright example for the above is the x86_64 Archlinux branch. AndyRTR felt the need to do it. Other people helped, and got official afterwards. But it didnt start as an official project either. Thats how things work. I dont know if its mentioned in the wiki page, but its part of the Arch Way. -- Greg
