filesystem.spec changes for aarch64

Description of problem:

The filesystem specfile needed a few tweaks to deal with the filesystem layout used by aarch64. Aarch64 is 64-bit only for Fedora, but it wants /usr/lib64 for shared libs and both /lib and lib64 are symlinks to /usr/lib64.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

filesystem-3.2-6

Specfile patch attached.

Comment 1 Ondrej Vasik 2013-03-05 08:18:33 UTC
That part about symlink is imho wrong... why do you need both /lib and /lib64 be symlinks to /usr/lib64 ? e.g. /usr/lib/debug content is in /usr/lib/ even on 64 bit architecture afaik... is aarch64 different here?

Comment 2 Ondrej Vasik 2013-03-05 08:39:24 UTC
Nevermind, it doesn't matter, /usr/lib will still be there... so it's fine. Built as filesystem-3.2-7.fc19 in RAWHIDE, closing.

Comment 3 Mark Salter 2013-04-06 20:44:03 UTC
Ondrej, you had the right idea about the /lib symlink part. Recently, some upstream changes in binutils/glibc/gcc have eliminated the reason for /lib linking to /usr/lib64. So could you revert that part of the patch so that /lib links to /usr/lib like all the other arches? This change is needed in f19 and in rawhide please.

Comment 4 Ondrej Vasik 2013-04-08 16:25:04 UTC
Ok, built in Rawhide and F19 - filesystem-3.2-8.fc19 and filesystem-3.2-11.fc20.
