I don't know that it came to any specific end; it was just something that came up on IRC (or was it the mailing list?) and was discussed. It didn't produce a draft or anything (probably because we couldn't agree). Ah, my logs show a discussion on July 13, 2006. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/IRCLog20060713, scroll down to "(09:52:34)". MS> What is the "meaning of noarch" in your point of view? To me it means that the files inside the package don't contain host-executable binary components. Others don't agree. The simplest example that illustrates the contention is a shell script that parses /proc/cpuinfo on, say, a Sparc and will do nothing useful on any other machine. noarch or not? Back then I said noarch, others disagree. I'm open to discussion, especially since then I admit I didn't fully consider the necessary hacks that were required to get this to work. Note that the proposal was very close to passing and may pass again if discussed again. - J< -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
