Hi Duncan,

I've got slbd (http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/SlBd) on 
an amd64 and it's compiling cooker / contrib / plf. It's (the process is 
fully automated) uploading the contrib and plf packages, Gwenole is 
taking care of cooker. Since amd64 is a bit different from i586 (aren't 
all ports?) some stuff won't compile & work out of the box right away. I 
hope that by making the packages that *do* compile out of the box 
available, the software will get more exposure and more bugs will be 
fixed. For the sake of making things clear: the packages this process 
uploads have not had any form of amd64 specific QA, they are provided 
"as-is". Use at your own risk...

For the buildoutputs, see:

http://eijk.homelinux.org/build/amd64/

The contrib uploads are available throught the regular Mandrake mirrors 
that carry amd64, same applies to plf --> plf mirrors that carry amd64 
packages.

regards,

Stefan

PS: I can also make *unofficial* cooker main packages that this amd64 
host has built available, if there is enough interest.
