RPM does _not_ put this "ExcludeArch" information INTO the .noarch package. It lives in the srpm/spec only. Thus at compose time, we have to track back from a noarch rpm to the srpm that created it, query it and find the Exclude/ExclusiveArch stuff to decide if this 'noarch' package is suitable for this arch collection. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
