Use

  ExcludeArch: ppc64

in the spec file and increase release right of %{?dist}. The ExcludeArch
tag finds its way into the src.rpm file header where it is recognised by
the updates push tools when dealing with noarch builds.

Whether the old builds in the ppc64 repo will be removed automatically,
I don't know. At least rel-eng should be able to do that.

And note that this is only for F8 mediawiki.
