Cool, that's good to hear.

Since we want to get a feeling whether the approach works out, we'll definitely need some testers once we're familiar (and happy!) with the setup. That said, at this point in time this is a purely technical experiment, and there's a lot of open, non-technical questions which have to be answered > By the way, is there any job/task list planned? Not so far, but maybe we can start it here: - decide which CRUX64 version we want to start with (pure vs multilib) - set up the git repositories - set up the git commit hooks to allow arch maintainers tracking other arch's ports - get a feeling of maintaining arch ports Once that's done and if we're happy with it, we should announce the test run to crux@ and ask for testers. At the same time, we can start discussion about the structure of the project, i.e. how archs should be coordinated etc. Once that's clear (and assuming all goes well), we can hopefully put out a 2.5 release supporting both 32 and 64 bit x86 :-). That's just my personal view BTW :-).
