There's already lib / lib64 for parallell-installation of libraries, though granted it's limited to only two arches, but yes, something that covers bin too would be useful. But I doubt fat binaries are the answer. You'd probably end up with having rpm merge /usr/bin/xxx from different packages into a single fatelf file upon installation, rather than putting the fat elves in the RPM file. Instead, I think it would be better to extend FHS to support parallell install of binaries in a way that gives each arch its own file. But still, regardless if you go with a new binary format or with "fat filesystems", you end up blurring the line between native compilation and cross-compilation. An extended FHS would probably have to deal with that. (Fedora doesn't guarantee parallell install of -devel packages, for example.) /abo -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
