Reopen Issue

This in no longer a problem, not even possible to install in Fedora 17+ and should be clarified:

"Binaries placed into /bin and /sbin must not depend upon libraries
stored in /usr/lib (or /usr/lib64). Binaries which depend on libraries
in /usr/lib* must live in either /usr/bin or /usr/sbin."

Thanks!

Section that will need updating:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Binaries_in_.2Fbin_and_.2Fsbin

Proposed change from spot: add the following to the section"admon/note||This section is only relevant on versions of Fedora older than 17 and EPEL."

That way we are marking where this is relevant now. Once F17 is the oldest non-EOL release we can move it to the EPEL guidelines.

Currently at (+1: 4, 0: 0, -1: 0): abadger1999, geppetto, spot, limburgher have voted

If other FPC members would care to vote in this ticket, we can pass this before the next meeting with one more +1 vote.

+1 from me on this.

With tibbs vote, this passes and the admon note has been added to that section.
