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.
