$arch in /etc/pacman.conf
Is there a $arch variable or similar in /etc/pacman.conf?
I think there should be because that would simplify adding repos, so for adding the arch-games repo you could just do:
[arch-games]
Server = http://arch.twilightlair.net/games/$arch/
Server = http://pseudoform.org/arch-games/games/$arch/
Server = http://repo.exigen.org/arch/games/$arch/Like they do with $repo.

Nice, now we just have to wait for repo managers to add it.

Not so fast, first pacman 3.4 hast to be released, which probably won't happen in the immediate future.

Re: $arch in /etc/pacman.conf
Actually, how many repos do you need to add?
