I know that officially Arch only supports i686 and x86_64, but what about AUR? I occasionally have people request that I add ARM architectures to my PKGBUILDs in the AUR. Is it more appropriate for me to tell them that it is an unsupported architecture, or just add it so they don't have to modify it prior to building?
AUR arch should contain either i686 or x86_64 as these are only architectures supported by Arch.
All non-Intel users (like those who install Arch on arm) should use 'makepkg --ignorearch' flag.
Thanks to everyone for chiming in. I found myself in a position where I didn't want to make things difficult for the user, but I also didn't want to be part of people unknowingly setting a bad precedent of adding ARM architectures to their PKGBUILDs.
