No no, i didn't said i will make them manually, i wanted to said that i can add one server amd64 to the pool of automate servers that make the packages, i think it works automatically and distribute workload like boinc or other similar net.

With the rest of your mail, i agree with you, my idea was completly halfthinked (is it the correct word?). Mental Note to remember: Beside daemons, there are devils. L
