Usage of {_libdir} or {_lib} in noarch packages

[Karsten Hopp]

I've run a x86_64 mass rebuild of all our Fedora packages and found several noarch packages
which erronously use  {_libdir} or {_lib} in their spec files. rpmdiff shows this output:

./firstaidkit-0.2.2-5.fc11.noarch.rpm
removed    /usr/lib/firstaidkit
removed    /usr/lib/firstaidkit/plugins
added      /usr/lib64/firstaidkit
added      /usr/lib64/firstaidkit/plugins

As noarch packages can be built on any machine/architecture in koji, we'd end up with lib64 directories on 32bit archs

Here is the list of offending packages I've found:


Package        Owner
------------------------
ntfs-config    laxathom
firstaidkit    msivak
terminus-font  ndim
gdeskcal       pfj
libopensync-plugin-synce  awjb
cohoba         tjikkun
gnome-schedule farnold
common-lisp-controller  green
gcstar         tian
revisor-cli    jsteffan
jruby          konradm



Can we make it a policy to not use _libdir or _lib in noarch packages, please ?
