Re: [opensuse] Re: Installing both .i586 and .x86_64 version of the same package

How are the -32bit rpms normally created? I wanted to look if there

zypper source-install tells me it doesn't find appropriate source
packages for any -32bit.rpm that I tried.

If there is no automatism that I can re-use, I'll probably have to
go forward and write such a .spec file.

Anyhow, thanks a lot for the quick answer, it pointed me already to
the right direction.

Some packages have a baselibs.conf file, instruction the build service
to create the -32bit packages.

An example of this can be seen for example in the geoclue package.

The baselibs.conf generally is really simple:
A simple line with the basename of the library package that needs to be
provided when building this as well (so in geoclue you will see
libgeoclue0 in there).

This will result in libgeoclue-0.12.0-1.1 and
libgeoclue-32bit-0.12.0-1.1.

If you are not able to adapt this to your packages in need, let me know
and I will try to create a repository for you which does this steps for
your libs (please let me know then which baseversions and openSUSE you
are running: I do not really want to break your system with incompatible
libs).
