AUR packages

Hi,

Not sure where to put this, so hope this is correct:

1. Can AUR packages be installed on archlinux32 machines, or are they all 64-bit now too?
2. If there are AUR packages that we'd like to use, is there a route to make them available or get at them?
DIY is an okay response, just not sure how to go about it.

Looking for a nice lightweight web browser and since I use awesome wm, thought this might be good: https://luakit.github.io/

Re: AUR packages

AUR packages may or may not work for i686 without modification, it's up to the maintainer. These packages aren't "official" and weren't subject to removal. You'll even find some arm packages there on the AUR.

If the package doesn't support i686, oftentimes all you need to do is add it to the arch array.
