Noarch packages may be small and fast to build on average, but they still account for over 13% of all packages on my openSUSE 13.1 system.
Not all .noarch.rpm files stem from a package that has "BuildArch: noarch" in the main subpackage.
That's true, but the noarch subpackages should be the same in all builds. So we could decide that only one arch (say x86_64) builds them.
I won't take care of it, it's not my area and I'm busy enough as is. All I'm saying is that it should be possible.
May I trow an Idea in here? - When You touch up that logic, how about the following: If only ONE Arch / Sub-arch is selected, this arch also builds the 'noarch' stuff, no matter what arch? {see: PPC, ARM(32/64), iA(32/64)} Also, if we make 'noarch' as direct selectable arch available, OBS could select the arch with the most resources available to build the package in question. - Yamaban.
