If openSUSE community is however not interested in a fully working out-of-the-box openSUSE rpm package then we may think to remove support for it and be happy with Fedora's RPM package which seems much easier to produce for us.
Of course we're interested :-) That's why you already got ~20 replies within 24 hours or so. But it seems your question is unusual enough
I rather consider unusual forcing two packages with identical content but different names.
Which two packages are you talking about?
I mean libfoo.i586 and libfoo-32bit.x86_64. They are identical. Being able to use the same libfoo.i586 on both 32 and 64 bit distro would be beneficial both from build time and space consumption point of view.
that the right answer was not immediately obvious. Did you try Claudio's suggestion of
Recommend: alsa-plugins-pulse-32bit
It does not work when using rpm directly
So? Plenty of things don't work when using rpm directly.
There is difference between missing automatic dependency resolution and download and silently installing package that cannot work correctly due to missing dependency. It is OK to not install package that lacks prerequisites (even though it could be annoying). It is not OK to silently install package that cannot work.
and even with zypper users are free to use --no-recommends.
But the vast majority of users won't, so that doesn't render the use of Recommend: pointless.
You can just as well simply describe this requirement on download page.
In preference to making it work automatically in the majority of cases?
This will make cases when it does not work even more mysterious and puzzling, unfortunately.
Is there any reason why 32 bit libraries cannot provide libname(32bit) just like 64 bit libraries provide libname(64bit)?
That sounds like a good idea to me.
