Yep, but there are two problems : This is still more work than an automated setup, even if you automatize this on demand, and often folk will find out what libraries are needed after the release :) I was thinking of a system, where the -m64 packages are built and put in the same package as the -m32 ones, which would minimize size duplication, but i am not sure about the mechanism. What we really need is a sample package to start biarchizing, and then learn from the effort. Any suggestion about a good candidate ?
