Hi everyone, i think we should make a clear plan about who is porting what for arch64 in community. Because at the moment there is a little bit confusen around. For my part i know i should look after x11 and xfce but i think i can do more but don't know if some one other is working on it allready. So i think we should make a clear plan for it.
As a TU wouldn`t it be possible to maintain i686 and x86_64-packages at the same time oder will there be two seperate "communities"?
There was a discussion about that on the TUR ML: http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/tur-users/2006-August/003172.html IIRC, the consensus was to only have one TU group that will maintain both the i686 and x86_64 community repo. The present problem is that very few current TU have a 64 bits machine to port/maintain the x86_64 repo. The TU group could certainly need new TUs that would focus on porting/maintaining 64 bits version of the community repo packages. If you are interested in becoming a TU to work on the x86_64 community repo (and/or the i686 repo), please present yourself on the TUR ML.
