Why not fix this rpm defect instead? This limitation really doesn't make sense.
You have a patch to discuss with Jeff ? :)
No, but didn't Jan say he'd volunteer to write one? ;-)
I thought Novell was comitted to opensource?
Yes, and not only to this particular problem. In fact the reason why this problem hasn't been fixed yet is that there are too many other open problems which have higher priority, and so nobody got to this one, yet. We are not acting as we do out of ill will, but because of limited resources. I hope you can appreciate that.
I think this idea was already rejected upstream, since RPM has no chance to make sure that the content is really noarch. If you build a normal noarch package, all arch specific commands like "ifarch" are disabled and will be ignored. How to do that for a subpackage?
