[SOLVED] Do the lib32 packages in AUR follow [multilib] standards?

Some packages, like google-talkplugin, depend on many lib32 packages.

I noticed that lib32-openssl-compatibility is installed from the AUR.

I noticed a comment that says "Hi. This package is not following the new multilib standard for Arch. I would suggest the following PKGBUILD: http://aur.pastebin.com/9gEt73W6. It really builds a openssl package for version 0.9.8 and puts only the important files on /usr/lib32, so they will be used when necessary."

Should i worry about whether multilib standards are being followed?

EDIT:
I noticed in the pkgbuild for lib32-openssl-compatibility that the source is acquired from http://konnichi.com.
Is this safe? Why isn't it acquired from openssl.org or similar???

Yes you should. Just check the PKGBUILD and see where its installing into.

Re: [SOLVED] Do the lib32 packages in AUR follow [multilib] standards?

Thanks ngoonee. I'm not all to experienced in this area though. Can you guide me through it?

This is the pkgbuild for lib32-openssl-compatibility:

_pkgsourcename=openssl-compatibility
pkgname=lib32-$_pkgsourcename
pkgver=0.9.8
pkgrel=4
pkgdesc="libssl and libcrypto 0.9.8 libs (32 Bit)"
url="https://www.openssl.org"
license=('GPL')
arch=(x86_64)
depends=()
source=(http://arm.konnichi.com/core/os/i686/openssl-0.9.8n-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz)
md5sums=('b1860e7fd78210542fbb4913aa7e8eb1')

build() {
  mkdir -p $pkgdir/usr/lib32
  install -D -m555 $srcdir/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 $pkgdir/usr/lib32 || return 1
  install -D -m555 $srcdir/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 $pkgdir/usr/lib32 || return 1
}

What am I looking for in there, and if something's wrong, what should it be?

Just check any of the [multilib] packages to see where they put their libs.

A more general answer: AUR packages should comply with Arch packaging standards. However, as anyone can submit anything to the AUR, you should check the PKGBUILD and any other associated files first, before you install anything.
