I've added "include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf" into /etc/ld.so.conf + the /etc/ld.so.conf.d directory.
So we are no more forced to touch ld.so.conf directly. New xulrunner pkg will make use of it to detect the openjdk6 plugin.
Please migrate the change from the ld.so.conf.pacnew file you will receive.
For the future we should clean up packages that touched ld.so.conf directly. On my system these paths were added:
/usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/libfakeroot /opt/lib32/lib /opt/lib32/usr/lib
Please signoff.
It would be nicer if you did the change automatically from post_install/post_upgrade. Detecting the presence of the include is simple done with grep, and adding it is a simple echo. Other packages touch this file directly and will get changed to dropping an ld.so.conf.d file in the future, those packages will stop working if this ld.so.conf change isn't done. The filesystem package touches the group and passwd files in the same way, so there's no excuse not to do this change automatically.
So... what are we doing for this? I have a couple of packages I want to update to this new include directory but will hold off until this leaves [testing]. Allan
