Although I am not a TU, I would be happy to help build these packages as I have an x86_64 machine. Once I have an updated PKGBUILD and binary package, what would be the best way for me to get them to into the right hands?
Hmm, are you interested in becoming a TU? I think that would be the most common practise.
Yes, most definitely. As I mentioned in my earlier introductory email, I've been packaging for other operating systems for awhile now, but would like to contribute to Arch. I have an x86_64 machine as well as several i686 machines. I've been lurking here for 3-4 years and have been building my own packages from time to time so I'm pretty comfortable with the process.
I'm not sure whether other TU take binary packages by mail and publish them.
I understand. I plan to adopt some orphaned PKGBUILDS in AUR, but in the meantime it seemed like there was a need and so I thought I would jump in and help. -- Chess Griffin GPG Key: 0x0C7558C3 http://www.chessgriffin.com
