- Horrible kludgery to get the isa names and bits into platform specific
macros from installplatform script. That beast needs to die. I mean really
- In build, add provides: name(isa) = evr automatically when it makes
sense (similarly to name = evr provides). ISA consists of ISA name and
bitness (or wordsize). This can be used to correctly
express multilib dependencies without resorting to (expensive!) file
dependency kludges, eg for dlopen()'ed libraries where automatic
dep extraction doesn't force dependency on 32bit vs 64bit version, you
can now use:
Requires: foo-plugin%{?_isa}
This expands to foo-plugin(x86-32) for i?86 packages, foo-plugin(x86-64)
to x86_64 etc, and permits spec to be shared with older distros which
don't have ISA provides.
- The same could be expressed with "canon arch" just as well, but
using the ISA to differentiate from %_arch and the like:
eg i386 could be used instead of x86-32 but it's overloaded with meanings
(the actual i386 processor vs i386 compatible cpu family etc)
- add brp-strip-static-archive build root policy helper.
- add -lelf to rpm LDFLAGS, not LDADD, since there is no libelf.la now.

I'd like to start building sparc64 packages (eventhough the install rule
details are yet to be designed - IMHO if 64bit SPARC userland is going into
7.0 we should rebuild all packages into 64bit in the next months or so to
have time to chase bugs etc.), and this is about what I need.
Basically I'd like to have %{_lib} to stand for the last part (normally
"lib") of dirname for directories like /lib, /usr/lib, /usr/X11R6/lib
because on sparc64-linux they are /lib64, /usr/lib64, /usr/X11R6/lib64 (and
on Solaris /lib/sparcv9, /usr/lib/sparcv9 etc.), so that one can use things
like
/usr/%{_lib} in the spec files.
Another thing which I need is an arch specific build root policy.
This patch does a few things:
1) add installplatform into EXTRA_DIST files, so that it is actually invoked
during rpm build not from CVS
2) Define %_lib lib and let target specific macros override it
3) Split __spec_install_post into __arch_install_post and __os_install_post,
--buildpolicy now specifies the __os_install_post part only. spec files
can still override the __arch_install_post if the want to.
brp-sparc64-linux is used to move 64bit libraries to */lib64 directories
from */lib directories if make install of some package left them there.
4) Change installplatform so that on sparc* it creates both sparc and
sparc64 target macro dirs (/usr/lib/rpm/sparc{,64}-redhat-linux in
sparc*-redhat-linux case).

- add i18n lookaside to PO catalogue(s) for i18n strings.
- try for /etc/rpm/macros.specspo so that specspo autoconfigures rpm.
- per-platform configuration factored into /usr/lib/rpm subdir.
