=== Signoff report for [testing] ===
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/signoffs/
There are currently:
* 5 new packages in last 24 hours
* 0 known bad packages
* 0 packages not accepting signoffs
* 1 fully signed off package
* 22 packages missing signoffs
* 2 packages older than 14 days
(Note:
I favor 3) as well. Seems rather easy to implement and I don't really
think we need to support architecture that old.

This would probably be a good time to get a fully automated building
setup going. We certainly have the hardware for it now.

Just for the record: I also run 2 geode boxes as media players and I'd like to
keep them running

Nothing needs done for glibc to use AVX. It
