Hello list,

We could start by creating an organisation on GitHub or any other git platform so we can maintain the PKGBUILDs as ArchLinuxARM is doing [1]. We also would need computational power to compile the packages, a server to act as a repo and a server for the web-site. I absolutely don't know how everything will be organized, but maybe it would be simpler to maintain a set of patches relative to Arch dev's PKGBUILDs ?
By the way, if it can help, I can offer several self-hosted i686 machines.
I still don't see if this will be closer to a fork of Arch or a semi-official community-maintained branch of Arch. Could an Arch dev clarify this point ?
Not a dev, so this might not be perfectly accurate, but I think the plan was to have the community write the tools (under devs mentorship) needed to automate building and packaging of software for i686 and then publish them in a main repo copy targeting only i686, while still having it in the current web interface, only stating i686 as a community supported architecture (as opposed to x86_64 remaining then the only supported architecture). I think that some devs should be joining the discussion here soon, they were at least two interested in mentoring the project. Cheers, Bruno
