This was dropped almost 5 years ago from Tumbleweed:

Since libieee1284 support is dropped from sane-backends (cf. submitrequest #589780) no package depends on libieee1284 (osc whatdependson openSUSE:Factory libieee1284 standard x86_64/i586 shows nothing) so that libieee1284 can be dropped from openSUSE:Factory (bsc#1086409)

• Why do we want to re-introduce it?
• If we really do: I doubt there is need for a baselibs.conf (clearly no consumer available so far)

My plan is to * enable support for (opl2lpt / opl3lpt ) devices in ScummVM * add liboplhw package which depends on libieee1284 * dosbox-staging (packaged as "dosbox" in openSUSE) will get support for liboplhw soon

Other packages (not in Factory) also (at least optionally) depend on libieee1284 to support certain devices * dosbox-opl * dosemu2 * linuxcnc

ok; so that sounds fair.

remains the question: do we need -32bit biarch support?
