Hi,
for internal reasons, I'm trying to package sympy (a python symbolic
algebra library) with rpm.
I find a small ambiguity between the packaging guidelines and the rpm
tools (nothing blocking).
Since the library does not contain C source code, I followed the noarch
packaging guidelines,
but rpmbuild insists on creating an x86-64 rpm. After verifying, I find
that this is very common
practise and that many packages that are installed in /usr/lib/python-*/
are x86-64 packages
even though they do not contain arch specific files.
Is there something I did not understood.
This is under FC7 x86-64.
Thank you,
Theo.
PS: If there is interest, I certainly can submit this rpm (and some
others) to fedora.
