Of course. Maybe we could just wait a day or two for interested people
to give their opinion before going further.

Well, it's quite easy to setup and would not be difficult to maintain.
I think it's more a question of efficiency. And indeed github could be
appropriate for such low volume of work. But I don't use github
so I can't tell.

Even if the vast majority of PKGBUILDs and tool would be kept synced with
Arch's ones ? Again, I didn't look close enough to archlinuxarm to tell...

I think it's appropriated for per-package discussions or anything like that,
but for the moment, it's more a general/technical discussion rather than
a detailed one.

Great. Seems good for me.
Could we precise the signing strategy ?

Moreover, as building is done on a single machine, we thus need a decent
one. I'm not really aware of the needed power. What would be the frequency
on builds ?

Finally, it's quite obvious we will keep separate repos, right ?
