Why are you doing it then? Are there any requests for this? Forum posts?
There has been a couple of requests for this on IRC, but aside from that, first and foremost, I've noticed that users of jack2 will have a problem in a situation like the following:
wine > lib32-alsa-plugins > lib32-jack
Here users of jack2 cannot continue to use jack2, as it has no provision for or equivalent to lib32-jack. This example is weak now, but previously when I decided to write jack2-multilib it was like this:
wine > lib32-jack
So I'm sort of late in proposing this package.
I still don't understand why you can't just build a lib32 package that doesn't conflict with the usual jack/jack2 package. Also, there is no provides on jack2, why? But the most important thing: There is no makedepend on gcc-multilib or any other of the multilib build tools. How could this build a 32 bit binary?
