[aur-general] compiz-fusion?
I saw that compiz and compiz-fusion have been updated for i686. However, for x86_64 only compiz has been updated, not fusion. That makes compiz incompatible to the fusion packages and essentially breaks it. Could whoever built the compiz packages on x86_64 please also build the fusion packages? Or anyone else?

I'm building it on 64 bit builder machine. It need time because I first need to compile compiz-core, then wait sync of pacman db, and compile other things, then wait the sync etc... This is the problem. Now seems that remote pacman syncs itself every hours, so ( without mirror problems ) I think this situation could be resolved in 4-5 hours. Excuse me, but I think we need more TU for x86_64, of course we can't carry on with this situation. At least, only ' rebuilding monkey ' for 64 bit... Although Aaron give us the building machine, it isn't the same ( again thanks anyway, Aaron.. without it would be worse ) -- JJDaNiMoTh - ArchLinux Trusted User

Wow, that sucks, I thought someone else built those for you. I am rather surprised: Almost everyone in the dev team has at least one AMD64 or Core2 (maybe newer P4) machine, I thought this should be the same for the TU team by now. This situation is BAD and it needs to be resolved, because all this leads to breakage for end-users. How do we get more TUs with 64 bit machines?

A quick count of the Trusted User wiki pages shows that 7 out of ~25 TU's have x86_64 access. For groups of packages like compiz-fusion, where many packages need updated at once, perhaps it would be better to just ask for a builder on the mailing list. I have seen TU's voted in primarily on the strength of having a 64bit machine to do building on so... I'll help out intermittently (my 64bit machine is really my wifes laptop...) Allan
