Please avoid to use such comprecated sed craft. While I use sed craft
so many times, this type of craft makes it difficult for other persons
to understand what these lines are for.
That is why I added nearly as many lines of comment as of code.
Considering the size of the existing %install section and its
code/comment ratio, I'm surprised that you think my addition would
be difficult to understand.
If understanding is the only issue, let me know if adding more
comments would help.
If comprecated sed craft is needed, creating a patch is much
appreciated.
I presume you would prefer a patch, so I am discarding the above,
leaving the patch I used before. I cannot take David Lutterkort's
suggestion to use the likes of %{_lib} without adding shell code
(or fragile envvar settings) to %install.
FYI, here is my ruby-multilib.patch (patch23):
