[Mageia-dev] Weird boost subpackage (lib64 in i586)

[David Walser]

In the boost spec, for example this one:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/updates/1/boost/current/SPECS/boost.spec?revision=265078&view=markup

There is this definition:
%define libnamedevel %mklibname boost -d

And then @ line 98 we have:
%package -n     %{libnamedevel}-doc
Summary:        The libraries and headers needed for Boost development
Group:          Development/C++
Provides:       %{name}-devel-doc = %{version}-%{release}
Conflicts:      %{_lib}boost-devel < 1.41.0
BuildArch: noarch

This is a documentation package, not a library package, so it shouldn't be using a mklibname name in the name, right?  This causes a package 
by the following name to appear on the *i586* mirrors:
lib64boost-devel-doc

I guess that's because it's noarch, so it's only generated on one arch (x86_64 apparently) and used on all arches.

Shouldn't the package actually be named %{name}-devel-doc instead of just providing it?
