Support for multiarch is somewhat stalled AFAIK. The idea is to drop ia32-*, and to provide multiarch support within dpkg, but it hasn't been released yet. -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Oh, okay, I had misunderstood that then. I agree this would be a good way to do it, and it's matching what some other packages already do.

I think the solution you described is the one mostly adopted. There's no pressure to go for it right now though. Ciao!

I must confess I'm not up-to-date about the current way of multiarch in Debian. AFAIK, the chroot thing is only the last resort. Then, there was a time with fat (multiarch) binaries (the Apple way), but this seems to be abandoned. Or not, I don't know. Then, there is some magic with ia32-apt-get which installs i386 packages side-by-side on amd64 systems. That's the approach I had in mind, and this would work: an amd64 user in need for 32bit jack clients would have two libjack0 packages, one amd64 and one i386 version. I don't think there's consensus in Debian to automatically ship 32bit libs in 64bit-packages, but if somebody has better knowledge, I'm happy to add the four lines it'll take to support it.

I'm not too convinced by the idea of not including the 32bit library, I guess it would be handy for some users and it wouldn't hurt the others. However it's a good start already, so if you don't want to include the lib for now, that's fine for me. Ciao!
