I think ARM-only packages should be tolerated on the AUR, simply because AUR is the place where people look for PKGBUILDs.
That is actually a fair point, and I agree with you. But we do have to keep in mind that Archlinux ARM is a completely different project, and you're using archlinux.org's server space and data cap when you submit AUR packages.
I'm rather indifferent, though I expect that packages build on my architecture (x86_64), which is not the case for ARM-only packages. That said, I wonder why Arch Linux ARM, which *is* a different project, doesn't provide its own AUR? Wouldn't that be a solution for ARM-only packages? And perhaps providing a link to "our" AUR (or even an iframe) for packages that build also on i686/x86_64? Just a thought. Regards, Marcel
