In regard to: Permitting noarch subpkgs from a per-arch build, Jeff Johnson...:
So there's a need for an explicit check that indeed, a noarch package contains only file types that reasonably make sense to include in a noarch subpkg.
Agreed.
If someone helps defining "reasonably permitted" patterns, I'll be happy to do the rest of the implementation necessary to permit noarch subpkgs from a single build.
It depends on what your timeframe is on this, but I would be willing to help. On a sort-of related note: you told me once long ago that the only barrier to having "noos" packages was getting the os_compat chains set up. rpmrc is no longer the way to accomplish that, but is noos packaging something that also could be accomplished with a little support from "the community"?
