Or, what would be even better, is to fix up the [community] repo 
back-end so it deals with packages with the repo name in them.  Then we 
wouldn't need different ports for uploading for each arch and could just 
use "CARCH=x86_64 commuitypkg".  Much bigger job though and I do not 
know where the code is... 

Also, if we have someone actively hacking the [community] back-end, then 
we could organize the switch to SVN like the main repos and it would be 
easy to create a [community-testing] repo to solve all the rebuild 
issues when big changes are in [testing]
