some tips/questions about parabola arm:

* if we were to use arch arm's repos, do they have a rsync mirror
  available?  current db-sync needs this to sync and remove unfree
  packages.

* do they have a keyring?

* you can use fullpkg/treepkg from libretools to build [libre] and [pcr]

you can work on an abslibre.git[^0] clone;  is arch arm introducing many
changes to abs?  like we do in mips64el i mean[^1].

you should come by the irc channel so we can discuss how to become a
parabola hacker if you want to :)

     this is a repo following arch's mainline pkgbuild development where
     we push our changes for the mips port.
