Summary: Review Request: libhugetlbfs - easy access to huge pages of memory https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196057 ------- Additional Comments From jwilson@xxxxxxxxxx 2006-06-26 10:20 EST ------- Okay, the hugetlbd issue... What normally happens with packages in Fedora when we want both some 32-bit and 64-bit components available on a 64-bit system, is that the package is broken up in such a way that there is no overlap in packages we want to have both variants of. Whenever possible, we only put the 64-bit variants in bin and sbin, and the 32-bit pieces are generally only the libraries and headers. So what I'd suggest in this case is splitting hugetlbd and ld.hugetlbfs off into another sub-packages so the libhugetlbfs and libhugetlbfs-devel 32-bit packages can be cleanly installed concurrently with the 64-bit ones. Whether hugetlbd actually gets built 32-bit or 64-bit doesn't actually matter to the packaging discussion above (it'll still go in an x86_64.rpm on the 64-bit build). However, the general preference is that if it can be built 64-bit, build it 64-bit, and that's the version that'll get installed on 64-bit systems. So long story short, lets throw hugetlbd and ld.hugetlbfs into a -utils or -apps sub-package, and move on from there. :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
