Great work on the Pi image! I've been loving it.
Not sure this is for newbies but... contrib/* doesn't distinguish between archs. One suggestion is to enhance contrib/*. Probably best for the contrib author to do this (or provide directions) but I am thinking something along these lines: - when installing or pulling changes, build things locally if $objtype specific binaries don't exist in the package. And don't pull binaries for other archs (unless explicitly asked for). - when creating or pushing changes, try to push binaries for all the archs locallly (cross) compiled. - when listing don't show packages known to be broken for $objtype arch. Probably best to add config/broken and config/fixed.
