The libdir changes to use /usr/lib{32,64} instead of /usr/lib broke
cross builds for some packages that use gir, due to issues with copying
over symlinks. Since we haven't managed to track down the root cause for
the installation path, a symlink is a clean enough temporary fix. This
follows the style of the 00-libdir hooks.
Since pre-install runs for the main package and then each subpackage, it
should use PKGDESTDIR (not DESTDIR), which also enables a subpackage
that installs files during pkg_install to work cleanly.
As far as I can see, the previous hook was quite flawed. Since it was a
pre-install hook, the check for a directory would happen *before*
package installation (so nothing would happen). The only reason it did
anything was because it also ran as a step before a subpackage's
pkg_install (most GIR packages have a -devel subpackage), but used
DESTDIR instead of PKGDESTDIR, so it checked and affected the contents
of the main package. Then when the subpackage's pkg_install ran, the
files would have already been copied to the correct folders.
Closes#27437
When cross building the gir files (*.gir, *.typelib) are installed
at ${DESTDIR}/usr/${XBPS_CROROSS_TRIPLET}/usr/* while they need to
be at ${DESTDIR}/usr/*
This hook is a temporary workaround until we can fix the cross gir
install to not insert the (as it seems) host's ${DESTDIR} into the
target's destination path.
Remove the temporary hack in polkit which is now handled by the hook.
