This is still basically an aesthetic argument. Is there any functional reason to change this? Is there anything that is currently not working that would work better under this scenario? How many packages currently need workaround to install properly that would not need such workarounds under your scenario?

That's 1300 packages that had a have a special patch applied (75% of total).
Seems like not having to go out of one's way to patch away from what is the 'normal expected path', would be more than aesthetics....
Even if they needed a patch, which they don't, we would need roughly the same patch for the same packages in order to get the 32bit libs in /usr/lib32/. So we don't gain anything in this regard by switching, we just change which arch get the "patch". That is why I specifically asked for packages "that would not need such workarounds under your scenario". Your scenario still requires the same workaround. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
