Changing the subject and ML to make this more visible

Please take a look at the packages that fail in /var/log/sourceballs
If any of your packages are there, please fix them so that "makepkg

Additionally, please check
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/sources/failed.txt
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/sources/errors.txt [1]
for additional failures
