Hi again,

It's been a month since the availability of mips64el snapshot packages
and they still have not been copied to 6.3/packages yet. Just hope it
will be taken care of before new packages are uploaded and overwritten
the current ones. Not meant to be pushy, but 6.2 currently still
doesn't have mips64el packages. I just hope 6.3 doesn't follow the same
fate.
