Also, after compiling the AppDirs (in the few cases where these aren't |
| 9 |
just python source) I remove the src directory, so it will not be |
| 10 |
recompiled for other archs. The only thing you get in the appdir as |
| 11 |
installed by portage is the binary for your arch. In the case of |
| 12 |
python, maybe this wouldn't matter as much. |

How would you then reconcile the issues raised in this bug[1] |
| 17 |
regarding /usr/lib and multilib support? |
| 18 |
|

I suppose I still don't know enough about multilib support to know if |
| 20 |
putting things in /usr/$(get_libdir)/rox would be correct, or if I |
| 21 |
should just hardcode to /usr/lib and close that bug as INVALID. Then I |
| 22 |
would have to somehow deal with the special case of rox-clib[2], since |
| 23 |
it really is a library but it does not have to be in the normal ld |
| 24 |
search path. I suppose that could actually go in /usr/$(get_libdir) |
| 25 |
without much trouble. |
