It's also not compatible with the current packaging guidelines, because packages must not conflict with each other unless they have an explicit Conflicts tag and a good reason to do so. in this case, tar.x86_64 and tar.i686 would conflict with each other (both providing /usr/bin/tar, among other files), so that's out of the question. That's exactly the reason why complex heuristics are applied to which i686 packages are allowed into the x86_64 repositories as "multilib" packages. > But for packages that aren't shipped , I agree not build for i686, we > already got the concept of multilib package and only multilib packages > should be build for i686 , I think.
