[arch-multilib] [ANNOUNCEMENT DRAFT] True multilib for Arch Linux x86_64
<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.
Are you sure that it's really necessary to install the complete [multilib] repo as dependencies for flashplugin incl. lib32-e2fsprogs etc.? It would be nice if only those lib32-* packages would be installed, which are really necessary to be able to run a software as it was with the lib32-* packages from [community]. Heiko

yes. lib32-gtk2->lib32-heimdal->lib32-e2fsprogs some soname from lib32-gtk2 links to some lib32-heimdal which links to lib32-e2fsprogs, which means that lib32-gtk2 would not work correctly without lib32-e2fsprogs. not to mention the others packages that links in the same way to lib32-heimdal -- Ionuț
