Whether the package is available for both architectures
Wrong expectation.
It is in both architectures if it appears in both setup.ini;
any other solution will create duplicated information that finally
need alignment and it is error prone.
I plan to produce a list of sources by arch as by product of
the current analysis.
Please note that the two trees are not exactly equal so there are
packages available only in 64 and not in 32bit
(biber is the first in alphabetical order)
and if it's
already converted to cygport for instance. From that database the
current file can easily be created if necessary and any manual changes
to the file could bootstrap a new entry in the database (so the new
maintainer can upload).
The build methods is maintainer choice.
I use cygport but I don't see a reason to mandate it.
I do not follow the rest of your statement,
could you clarify the expected outcome ?
