[syslog-ng] 3.22.1: understanding the location of the python's part

[László Várady (lvarady)]

Hi,

We've moved Python code that does not work outside of the syslog-ng process under the moduledir/python folder.
The mentioned "moduledir" happens to be lib64 in the RPM packaging as I see.

These are not standalone libraries or tools, they are plugin-related codes for syslog-ng;
they highly depend on an architecture-specific C module, libmod-python.so.

Hello

I see that in 3.22 has changed the location of the python's part
(relative 3.20): architecture independent files moved to architecture
specific directory (lib64 on x86_64).

For example, rhel spec 3.20 (syslog-ng-3.20.1/packaging/rhel/syslog-ng.spec)

%files python
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/syslogng-1.0-py2.7.egg-info
%dir /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/syslogng/
%dir /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/syslogng/debuggercli/
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/syslogng/*
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/syslogng/debuggercli/*
%{_libdir}/%{name}/libmod-python.so

The same in 3.22

%files python
%{_libdir}/%{name}/python/syslogng-1.0-py%{py_ver}.egg-info
%{_libdir}/%{name}/python/syslogng/*
%{_libdir}/%{name}/libmod-python.so

Is the architecture specific file libmod-python.so only?
Or am I missing something?
