Which clearly won't work with the x86 architecture.
How is this just irrelevant and baseless spam?
The AUR submission guidelines didn't really blacklist packages for ARM. Your suggestion about submitting the packages to Arch Linux ARM isn't really an alternative because they don't have an equivalent platform like AUR. I believe that witch-hunting useful ARM-only packages and forcing maintainers to go away sharing elsewhere does more harm than good to the community. Arch may gain more platform support in the future, and how would that be possible without more users involving? AUR was the reason why I started contributing in Arch and I am really disappointed that the current situation is driving contributors away. -- Regards, Felix Yan
