http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32072 . What will be the status of lib32 flashplugin in multilib repo?

For now we wait whether Adobe really maintains this one or drops it again with the next update of the 32bit version.

I wouldn't wait that long, because it can take ages until Adobe will release the next Flash version. I would only wait until Adobe releases a final "stable" release of this native 64 bit version.

After that I would keep flashplugin in [multilib] but rename it to lib32-flashplugin or bin32-flashplugin and put the native 64 bit version as flashplugin into [extra] again.

The [multilib] version should, of course be kept at least until it is sure that Adobe really maintains this 64 bit version. I bet it would be better to never remove this [multilib] version.

Renaming sounds good to me. So far that plugin works a lot better than using nspluginwrapper, which often segfaults and is quite slow. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
