Wouldn't it make more sense to integrate it with communitypkg?

We could introduce the ability to override $CARCH by specifying a $FARCH (I'm not good with naming) in the current environment.
Then we could do something like: `FARCH=x86_64 communitypkg' to upload a package to x86_64.
Here's an untested patch: http://paste2.org/p/92323 for review.
Why not just a command line switch; communitypkg -64?
Or, what would be even better, is to fix up the [community] repo back-end so it deals with packages with the repo name in them. Then we wouldn't need different ports for uploading for each arch and could just use "CARCH=x86_64 commuitypkg". Much bigger job though and I do not know where the code is... Also, if we have someone actively hacking the [community] back-end, then we could organize the switch to SVN like the main repos and it would be easy to create a [community-testing] repo to solve all the rebuild issues when big changes are in [testing] Allan
