binutils-multilib missing from repo

CPUnltd · 2014-02-19 23:47:33

I can find the link for it via Google. But it goes to a 404 page. It's not in the repos at all. No idea when this happened, but can someone either explain the situation or give an eta on getting the package back in the repos? I can't update any of my 64bit machines because I use the multilib package that is currently a ghost package. Thanks in advance.

I beileve current version is 2.24.

binutils-multilib was replaced by binutils. I've seen somewhere that the only difference between them was the name so there was no reason to keep both around.

Interesting. Putting up an announcement of some sort would've been nice, because I doubt i was the only person who thought they would be breaking their setup if they installed the non-multilib version. I will try it and see if it breaks one of the systems. If not, then we're good (and I hope this gets sticky'd or something so people know about the change).

You can have a look at the latest commit: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … 532c0345a5

Ok, so the difference between the two initially was the multilib flag was disabled. So to not have to compile the exact same package twice, they just left the multilib flag enabled and compiled a single binutils package that is compatible with all standard archs. (?)

The multilib flag did nothing...

With binutils instead of binutils-multilib, I can still compile stuff for 32-bit.
