1 Hi,

3 what's the current way of dealing with the folders /lib and /usr/lib
4 which are symlinks to /lib64 or /usr/lib64 on amd64 systems?

6 Here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185126#c3
7 one of the gentoo devs (Jakub) thought, that paths like /usr/lib
8 shouldn't be hardcoded. Hmm - to me, this statement only makes sense, if
9 ebuilds installing files to /lib or /usr/lib are actually disliked.
10
11 But actually, very fundamental stuff like udev, grub-static, etc.
12 still install there files to /lib or /usr/lib instead of /lib64 or
13 /usr/lib64.
14
15 So should these packages be fixed?
16 Or is it intentional or at least legal, that they install files to /lib
17 or /usr/lib on amd64?

20 Thanks,
21 Sven
