cross and java are (were?) documented on the wiki, as in this old version: https://wiki.parabola.nu/index.php?title=Repositories&oldid=17655 back then, ovruni was well-acquainted with the java repo and its purpose. as for cross, my hunch is that no one is using it nowadays, and removing it might be a good idea. i think i may have created alarm during the addition of ARM support. this is were Archlinux ARM places some important packages of their own[1], and {core,extra,community} packages we import from them could depend on them. i have forgotten and departed enough to be unable to tell whether this matters anymore. cheerful hacking [1]: https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs -- Isaac David GPG: 38D33EF29A7691134357648733466E12EC7BA943 Tox: 0C730E0156E96E6193A1445D413557FF5F277BA969A4EA20AC9352889D3B390E77651E8 16F0C
