That would be nice, thanks.
OK, I just compiled it and it seems to work on Arch64. Are there any special test-cases I should try out? Is it save to install and remove packages on a "productive" system?
I've had no problems. The worst that has happened is a segfault, but never any DB corruption. It is getting more stable by the day.
Are there any big changes to makepkg and co or are they still the same (and I do not need testing them)?
They have changed quite a bit; however, nothing there SHOULD be architecture dependent. You will notice that all PKGBUILDs now require a arch=() array, which right now could contain i686 and/or x86_64. The configuration file for makpkg.conf has also changed. In our actual release, we will find a way to notify users of changes like this.
Also note that all packages generated with new makepkg have -i686/-x86_64 suffix, so you cannot use old gensync and pacman 2 to install them via your local repo. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
