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.

However, you can still use makepkg3 and rename the file without the -ARCH extension, and pacman2 will still install them fine. I wouldn't recommend this course of action on the official repos though.
