I don't remember exactly, it was a few month back, but the difficulties
are in creating the initial archive, and making sure you have it use the
right way of doing it, don't remember exactly. I remember following the
tutorial, and it suddenly starting to die in a strange way, and being
told you have to edit {ARCH}/... or whatever and change this keyword to
that, and then it would work.

Well, didn't help.
But again, feel free to setup the initial arch repository, and give some
easy instructions on how to use it for us non-arch familiar people.
Until you or someone else does that, i will setup a subversion repo, in
order to get things going, it will be good enough for now, and can
always be changed later. I made the mistake of trying to get a arch repo
setup for parted, and never really managed to do it, so a more or less
now is better than a best never (or however you say that in english).
Well, subversion repo still needs alioth admin action though, so ...
