Is there a list of packages that can not be put in community64 due to build failures/binary package etc? I had a look through the wiki and found http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch64_ToDoS which has no community info. Looking at the pkg diff page (http://dev.archlinux.org/~andyrtr/pkg_diff.html) there are ~60 packages in i686 community but not in x86_64 community. There is only 1 in x86_64 but not in i686 which is not a lib32 package. I'm going to spend some time shortening this list but I'm sure some of these are legitimately only i686.
As an aside, something is wrong with the matching in the pkg_diff page. Some packages appear twice in the list, once with a missing i686 version and once with a missing x86_64 version. I think this is when the is a major version difference between the platforms. e.g. gambas2 & yaz.
Replying to my own post... I found this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Community64_Status. It was old and unused so I have changed it to have the current package differences there. Can people add reasons for these packages not be in x86_64 (if there is one). It will save me from having to look at every package individually. Cheers, Allan
