Hello All!
If someone tries to package executable script (arch-neytral) which must be placed into %{_libdir}/something (for example, nagios-plugin which must go into %{_libdir}/nagios/plugins ), he quickly founds that he actually can't mark package as noarch, because on both 32- and 64-bit systems %{_libdir} points to /usr/lib . There is an obvious workaround - not to mark the package as noarch.
How to overcome this issue and package utility as noarch?
See details: * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=423821#c5
* noarch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=696176 * build w/o "BuildArch: noarch": http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=696178

If it goes in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 depending on arch, it's not noarch.
I think. People who are more confident about this ought to reply.

If it's really arch-neutral its place is in /usr/share/sotmething not libdir
Somewhere in %{_libexecdir} would work too.

I guess the problem here is that you want to put the executable below %{_libdir}, afaik executables should go below %{_libexecdir}. But I guess that nagios needs to be patched to use %{_libexecdir}, which is the same for i386 and x86_64 afaik and should not hurt, because %{_bindir} is also the same on both archs.
