<draft> I am happy to announce the availability of the new multilib repository. At this time, it contains wine, skype and flashplugin. Furthermore, a multilib compiler is available.

With the launch of the multilib repository all old 'lib32' packages are being removed from community - the core/extra/community repositories will be "pure 64 bit" again.

If you want to use the new multilib packages (and most desktop or laptop users probably do), add the following lines to your pacman.conf:

[multilib] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist </draft>

Can someone help me with the formatting, as I have no idea which format tags archweb allows for our news.

I don't think that we are allowed to offer a binary skype package. No idea about the other offered packages.

we have their permission to redistribute. http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/community/skype/trunk/PERMISSION -- Ionuț
