Hmmm. To me, that sounds like a bug in RPM then. But admittedly my
background is Debian and I'm not an expert in RPM things. My
suggestion would be to talk to the Fedora/RH folks and see what
they're doing here. Consistency is good. :-) Jon Masters is one of the
lead guys working on ARM there, and is probably a good person to ask,
either directly or (even better) on the cross-distro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
mailing list we've got set up for exactly this kind of
discussion. </plug>
