Attaching my packages cache list, please select only the ones you need and I'll try to publish them if there are any. Ready to help you with testing a little bit but only in case we work with Maemo chroot, N900 is still my main mobile device and I wouldn't like rebooting it to use Arch.
Do I understand correctly that we can't make Maemo work with newer kernels on N900?

@int_ua: chroot was a very relevant use case to me until a glib update – thank you for showing a solution 
I used Arch in chroot to have a working Python 3.4, swi-prolog and SSH client with support for ECSDA keys, and maybe other great stuff.
But what about sound? Do you think it is possible to play music from inside chroot? I didn't have success with plain ALSA, maybe I just didn't try hard enough. I guess a method involving PulseAudio (of a compatible version) could work: either by connecting separate instances in Maemo and Arch, or by making whatever PA might use to communicate with clients available to Arch (sockets, pipes, /dev/shm, I haven't looked)… Thinking about that, I would be surprised if this weren't solved in other projects, such as EasyDebian

my experience so far. Install was very easy. Had to do a lot of Google on how to use wifi-menu, wpa_supplicant. Got online..couldn't install anything..Google again. Pacman needs to be sync fine... nice. Even installed chromium sshfs...had to do ssh as the small font in console was doing my head in n changing fonts as described in the wiki refused to work... then I did an upgrade not got a fubar. And yet I had followed the instructions for upgrading as archlinux was changing libraries
That was fun. Reinstalled and started reading this thread again. Reading about different desktops and then I saw this
Still reading and I think I love archlinux. Wanna try it on my spare PC. Fun to be tinkering

Ok, I have tried the upgrade following the procedure suggested in the forums:
That worked in the raspberry pi, but not in the n900. It resulted in a broken system. So be cautious when you upgrade.Code:pacman -Suy --ignore filesystem pacman -Su

@PanzerSajt: Even interest means a lot
Just FYI, Skry's Dropbox content is now available on my mirror.
The package cache (before I started an update) is there too but it mostly comprises old Arch Linux ARM packages, and (sadly) just a few Alarm-N900 ones, I simply didn't go deep enough when this project was more active. But it seems the missing parts (such as pulseaudio packages and much more) are in the ZIP above.
