I will be happy to build packages using this stuff. Something on my todo list for now: - firefox-i18n is -any architecture - mesa will be splitup in libgl, mesa and *-dri for every driver This will ease packaging a lot. I don't have any motivation to change the current driver packaging at this moment, but I've been amazed by the stupidity I introduced when bundling 2D and 3D driver in one package. Some packages have a very high pkgrel already because of rebuilds or mesa updates.
