That means, that we would have to prevent that any mono i686 package would be drawn into the x86_64 repos and so we would loose the ability to use 32bit parts of the mono stack in x86-64 - a feature which never worked correctly and is not available for other run-time environments like perl or python either. """ 1) We should be creating noarch packages (not x86 and x86_64 specific packages) if these packages contain architecture independent code, correct? 2) This section says that the same files might have different content. Do you have a list of the things that cause differences between compilations on the different architectures? If it's just things like timestamps, that should be fine as those won't cause problems when trying to run them on other architectures. But I'm not sure if that's pretty much what it's restricted to. -Toshio
