Re: multiple architectures and subpackages

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the clarification.

However I still have a question:

Assuming I'm on i386 platform, how do I make both .i386.rpm and 
.noarch.rpm from a spec file like above? In other words, how do I 
instruct rpmbuild to build for 'noarch' platform? Some docs tell that 
there is --buildarch option, however rpmbuild on my system (RHEL4) does 
not have it, but something like "--target=CPU-VENDOR-OS        override 
target platform" instead.

In general, I'm having difficulties in finding the complete and 
up-to-dated RPM manual for my system. Does anyone have a hint?
