Would it be possible to (temporarily) add jpng to the list for gerolde?
That way we can use "/arch/db-update jpng" to add packages to the repo
and have all the safety measures the db-scripts bring instead of
manually using repo-add.
Any objections?

Does not soud like a bad idea.
I added jpng as an "approved repo" for gerolde. It add packages there:
1) create ~/staging/jpng on gerolde
2) upload using: commitpkg jpng "message"
3) on gerolde: /arch/db-update jpng
I have added the repo to
https://www.archlinux.de/?page=Packages;repository=7 and the diff list at
https://www.archlinux.de/?page=ArchitectureDifferences Maybe that is of any
help.
I did not know that we need to patch some/many package to be build with
the new libpng. However: Do you think we can merge that repo into testing
once the most important packages are done? I fear we'll start to block each
other or do unnecessary rebuilds soon. We are also working on kde-unstable
(on top of testing) which should be merged into extra at the first week of
February.
It all depends how many people help with the rebuild... The last few
rebuilds have been done by only two or three people. We could get
through most of this in a day or two if people helped out.
