For an architecture independent package, is it sufficient to build the package once, rename it appropriately and upload?
No, because there is arch = i686/x86_64 in .PKGINFO
Or should it be built on both 32 and 64 bit?
No. :-) For example, you have i686 system: i686: makepkg (but do not use -c option) x86_64: CARCH=x86_64 makepkg -R ;-)

Thanks! I noticed a few packages in community which are architecture-independent but the versions are different in 32 and 64 bit; so I could just download the existing package, modify the .PKGINFO and repackage it for 64bit w/o compiling, right? -- Abhishek
