At this moment I've got over 250 cooker packages with the same version-release number as in i586 cooker, but that aren't in the amd64 tree.
Wrong. They are but not synchronized yet to the mirror until the next beta. Again, you can't have more packages than are available now since the remaining 85 ones (down from 300 or so) need to be manually fixed first. And by package, I mean SRPM. Counting RPMs as you appear to do, there are approx. 379 that changed since beta 2.
Can these packages be of any use? I think it would be more effective if MDK staff would spend their time testing the product instead of building it (manually).
You are still wrong. I already explained to you that packages that are manually built are those that need to be fixed first. Others are auto-rebuilt, of course.
In the end, most packages won't need to be changed, and for the packages that are changed (after testing as revealed a fault), those changes will end up in the SRPMS.
That's what is happening...
Bye, Gwenole.
