- Made package arch specific due to pkgconfig files being placed in
lib64
if the noarch packages manage to get built on x86_64/ppc64/s390x.
What?
Fix the toplevel Makefile.am to install the pkgconfig file to $datadir
instead of libdir:
-pkgconfigdir = $(libdir)/pkgconfig
+pkgconfigdir = $(datadir)/pkgconfig
That's what other noarch packages do.
Alternatively, fix your spec to use
%configure --libdir=%_datadir
...
%_datadir/share/pkgconfig/*.pc
For now, the important thing is that FC5 is in a state that everything
builds, and is ready for final release. Minor trivia like this is not
mission critical to the release of the OS.
Feel free to submit a patch to X.Org to do this, so it is fixed in
the future.
Actually, it's more important that things are in a state where upgrading
works sanely. Changing from noarch -> arch-specific -> noarch typically
breaks upgrading.
That was the case in the past, when the tools did not support the
architecture changing with the package name staying the same. My
understanding is that yum has supported this for a long time now,
and that up2date and other tools also support it. I've certainly
had no upgrade problems while testing any arch -> noarch -> arch
updates anyway, and haven't had any bug reports.
