[Yum] Noarch vs i386

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello:

Python programs shouldn't really be .noarch, as compiled python bytecode
isn't exactly cross-platform. In case of yum this is particularly
noticeable, as it doesn't ship .py files, only .pyc. When installed on,
say, linux ppc, yum RPMs provided on the download site reportedly don't
work because python cannot run .pyc files due to endianness issues.

Cheers,
