Hey,
I've planned out a set of changes I want to try with Pacman and Makepkg. Most deal with creating a source repository setup that would store source files as their sha512sums, but that isn't related to this. Another thing that I want to do is have a "shared" repository for non-architecture specific packages. I would rather not use different repositories for the "shared" architecture, ie: core-shared, extra-shared.
There is support for arch=(any) already, and it does not require any new repositories (when using the scheme with symlinks/hardlinks). You can search pacman-dev and archlinux-public archives for more. AFAIR devtools/aurtools & dbscripts still need to be modified to start using this feature. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
