I still have a working Arch on my N900 and I would like, someday, to make it an official (or at least recognized) platform of Arch Linux ARM.

I also dream about rebasing Maemo on top of Arch because I want to keep using my two N900s (I want no other device unless they become unusable), but with a recent userspace. I prefer Arch over other distros for its rolling-release nature and simplicity (the way its packages are put together with just PKGBUILDs, it's a breeze).

Does anyone still have a backup of repositories from http://alarm-n900.org/? If not, I think I could retrieve at least a part of them from my /var/cache/pacman/pkg and maybe setup my own repository (plus a Git repo with PKGBUILDs so anyone can join).

For now, I started to mirror ArchLinuxARM-N900-2013.02-rootfs.tar.gz from the first post, which was still available from the second link (the FTP one). As a first thing (once I find more time) I want bring Arch to my second N900 and offer an updated howto or rootfs so this project lives on.
