fabiand on IRC let me know that there's a minor change that could be made to the Beware of RPath section of the Guidelines to make things easier for packagers:
[10:23:07] <fabiand> regarding an wiki page i can not edit: packaging:guidelines#beware_of_rpath [10:23:57] <fabiand> it should be recommended to use %{_arch} not using 32 or 64 as a suffix for files in /etc/ld.so.conf, because it is easy to use %{a_arch} but not easy to get 64 or 32

Just read the above link, can someone explain "we do not permit the use of rpath in Fedora" in the context of libperl.so?
I had been using 'chrpath --delete' for my package (pacemaker) but was forced to drop it because the binaries couldn't find the perl shared lib. If Perl has some sort of exception then ideally it should be mentioned on that page.
