Package: zlib1g Version: 1:1.2.3.5.dfsg-2+multiarch1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
Policy 3.8.4 allows packages to install to multiarch directories; the attached
patches should hopefully be a correct implementation for zlib. I believe
they're policy-compliant, but I'm currently waiting for feedback on a simpler
package from -devel/-policy (in particular, Steve Langasek warned not to upload
packages that violated policy, but didn't explain further).
I left the lib32/lib64 packages alone for now - I'm not aware of any plans for
a migration path from bi-arch to multiarch at this stage, but hopefully
multiarch will mean that these packages can just vanish after Squeeze.
The attached patch is also available from:
