Hi,

I think, I found my mistake (forgot to cherry-pick some lines from the
original commit), current Iso is online:
https://mirror.archlinux32.org/archisos/testing/archlinux-2017.04.01-i686.iso

Besides comments on (problems with) the iso(s), also any comments on the
archiso-fork (github.com/archlinux32/archiso32) and the archiso-packages
(https://arch.eckner.net/archlinuxewe/os/any/archiso-dual-31-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
and
https://arch.eckner.net/archlinuxewe/os/any/archiso32-31-4-any.pkg.tar.xz)
are apreciated.

Something more general:
Maybe, we should set up some standard way to inform testers of new
versions to test? (some separate mailing list? archweb? ...?) I guess,
this list is not solely for (sup)porting i686, and others might not want
to get spammed with i686-test-release news.

cheers,
Erich
