Description Pavel Raiskup 2015-11-27 12:26:47 UTC
Created attachment 1099680 [details]
Proposed fix.

Typically it might happen that upstream project installs architecture
dependent header files.  This however breaks parallel installation of 32/64
bit packages (when it it is desired).

Usual packaging solution is to replace the multilib-unclean file with
multilib-clean stub, while the original file is moved to unique
architecture-specific location.

This, however, used to be done on per-package basis.  Having this done on
central place like 'redhat-rpm-config' could save nontrivial amount of
packagers' work.
Also adding support for new architecture would require just rebuild of
dependent packages.

The proposed solution is to use this in %install phase:

  %ml_fix_c_header --file %{_includedir}/borken-header.h

Please consider attached patch.  As this is new %macro/script, there is no
risk to break existing package.

Comment 1 Pavel Raiskup 2015-11-27 12:45:51 UTC
Later (if this is accepted) this bug could be reused as a tracker for package
updates.  At least 'postgresql' (already uses this actually), mariadb,
unixODBC could start using this directly from redhat-rpm-config.

Comment 2 Pavel Raiskup 2016-05-10 08:40:02 UTC
Any chance this is going to be reviewed and then accepted/rejected?

Comment 4 Pavel Raiskup 2016-06-09 08:42:02 UTC
I was asked to have separate package for this, so we can depend on it
in redhat-rpm-config.

Comment 5 Vít Ondruch 2020-03-17 11:59:25 UTC
PR could probably help to move forward with this.

Comment 6 Pavel Raiskup 2020-03-17 14:21:02 UTC
Do you mean adding 'Requires: multilib-rpm-config' to redhat-rpm-config?
