Because there where no ideas brought forward to discuss. There where 3 options: 1) ia32-libs + ia32-libs-gtk (+ ia32-libs-kde + ia32-libs-qt) ftp-master asked us to clean that up basically and "it would not pass NEW if it where uploaded now" 2) ia32-lib* packages in the same schema as ia32-libs vetoed by ftp-master for being way to many packages as ugly as ia32-libs 3) ia32-apt-get So strike option 1 and 2 and what are you left with? > Shouldn't be uploaded into experimental instead of unstable? ⦠Do you The libc6-i386 lib32 transition was easier done by switching to ia32-apt-get now than to rewrite ia32-libs for it.
