Or to use you wording, how would you define an "arch-ful Requires" in a noarch build? If not doing it via %_isa, there would be only work-arounds, such as including an arch identifier in the package name of a dependency and building that dependency only for specific target architectures. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
