Feature changed by: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) Feature #307624, revision 5 Title: Build all noarch subpackages as noarch openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) Description: The new RPM brought a feature which allows to build subpackages as noarch even when the main package is architecture dependent. By using this we could save lots of space on mirrors and media. See http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2009-09/msg00170.html for reference. Discussion: #1: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2009-09-08 13:37:08) The referenced email speaks about a saving of more than 600 MB for the ftp tree and therefore I suggest to move forward with this. #2: Vincent Untz (vuntz) (2009-09-08 19:03:33) Would it be possible to have a webpage that is updated daily, showing the list of source packages that should get fixed? + #3: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) (2009-09-09 14:38:03) (reply to #2) + I think it would make more sense to modify the rpmlint script to throw + an error instead of warning if the package is not marked as noarch and + contains no arch dependent files. (One can still ignore the error using + rpmlintrc). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307624
