I was just emphasizing the point. Others are reading this, too. I knew that you knew.      

How about we just have some breakfast?

Bacon! With eggs and coffee!

I'm currently working on MythTV 0.24.1 for 64 bit, and there are a great deal differences in the naming of packages between 32 and 64 bit - Myth 64 bit spec will not work without a great deal work on Myth 32 bit,

it's primarily the major number that differs and I see there has been quite a cleanup on the naming in the 64 repo,

a workaround to have the same specfile for both 32 and 64 version is to use if statements to handle the differences in naming,

cheers,
MBantz

Can you give us an example of if statements in actual usage? Thanks.

[MBantz]

Yes, certainly,

an example would be:

Code: [Select]

%if "%{_build_arch}" == "x86_64"
BuildRequires:  %{_lib}lirc-devel >= 0.8.6
%else
BuildRequires:  %{_lib}lirc0-devel >= 0.8.6
%endif

also redhat has a page on the topic: http://www.rpm.org/wiki/PackagerDocs/ArchDependencies
