Is it possible for one file to provide that information for all architectures? I haven't looked at what architectures are supported in MX, but I assume we provide packages for all the needed architectures. Because the repository URL is the same for all architectures, and therefore the same GPG key, it seems unnecessary to create multiple files that will contain the same data, only with a difference for the architecture.
