We can remove the multilib stuff:

# ugly hack to allow parallel install of 32-bit and 64-bit -devel packages:
%define multilib_arches %{ix86} x86_64 ppc ppc64 s390 s390x sparcv9 sparc64%ifarch %{multilib_arches}
mv -f %{buildroot}%{_includedir}/ext2fs/ext2_types.h \
      %{buildroot}%{_includedir}/ext2fs/ext2_types-%{_arch}.h
mv -f %{buildroot}%{_includedir}/ext2fs/ext2_types-wrapper.h \
      %{buildroot}%{_includedir}/ext2fs/ext2_types.h
%endif

and simply use

# Replace arch-dependent header file with arch-independent stub (when needed).
%multilib_fix_c_header --file %{_includedir}/ext2fs/ext2_types.h

but that means we will add a build dependency of multilib-rpm-config package from epel, which provides the multilib_fix_c_header macro.

Happy to make the change but the build servers need to add epel repo and have multilib-rpm-config installed.

Cheers

Dongyang, do we even need that wrapper anymore? Looking in the RHEL6 .spec file, there is a comment like "remove arch wrapper", so maybe we should also remove it from the THEL6 .spec patch completely?

[Dongyang Li]

Hi Minh,

to build e2fsprogs debs on ubuntu, we need to do this:

sed -i 's/ext2_types-wrapper.h$//g' lib/ext2fs/Makefile.in
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc
