Hi
I am working on porting Fedora for AArch64 architecture. This means
patching many packages and during that time I noticed lot of checks for
32/64-bit architectures.
Most common one is:
%global something 32
%ifarch x86_64 ppc64 s390
%global something 64
%endif
Which can be now replaced to simple:
%global something %{__isa_bits}
And this works fine in Fedora 19 and beyond (including RHEL 7). There
are also some other variations of 32/64-bit checks which could be converted.
Can use of %__isa_bits be somehow announced/suggested to developers?
Would cut amount of patching needed for each new architecture.
