OK by me. I have the thing runnig on MY machines, so i don't have any
hurry anymore about anything :)

That would give some time to sort out the signing and such things which
i am not good at.

Yeah. Actually package whitebox-release only comes to my mind as it's
containing something like 'ExclusiveArch: i386'.

w/O checking nothing else comes on to my mind.

As i see it, it can't be 'behind one man'. That would just be too much
commitment for next about 5 years or so.

As i keep my own repositories up to date anyway, that would not be a
problem ususally. You just can't be committed to be compiling stuff for
next 48-72h next 5 years.

So i personally am looking for more like 'bunch of people' doing the
stuff.
