lib32 nvidia-470xx and nvidia-390xx packages

I noticed the lib32 packages for nvidia-470xx and 390xx drivers aren't in the repositories.

Pretty much these packages:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&SeB=nd&K=lib32+390xx&outdated=&SB=n&SO=a&PP=50&do_Search=Go
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&SeB=nd&K=lib32+470xx&outdated=&SB=n&SO=a&PP=50&do_Search=Go

Steam (probably other lib32 programs as well) needs the lib32-utils package to work properly, but the only way is installing it manually from the AUR. I think it should be in the official repositories no?

Sorry, I guess we all missed this forum topic. Anyways, I don't think these are in the official arch repos either? I don't see a reason to carry these.

The normal nvidia 470xx aren't in the Arch repos, but they are in Artix's.
so i thought the maintainers must have missed these lib32 packages, because they're important for lib32 applications to work.

I think it was discussed here:

(yeah, i should probably have made a reply in that topic instead)

Those are in universe not the official artix repos.

Eh, either way, it's confusing to have the normal nvidia-470xx packages but not the lib32 ones. And it breaks stuff if you don't have it installed with the same version as the other nvidia packages
The up-to-date nvidia package has lib32 packages listed in lib32 repos, so it only makes sense that the lib32-nvidia-470xx packages should be in universe, it clears confusion. Also there would be no need to manually update 1 package from the AUR everytime hehe
