No, but then most python stuff does not have it either (ie use the
directives specified for noarch builds, but do not specify BuildArch:
noarch).
I took one of the fedora python package as a model, and then verifyed
that a lot of the python packages that install in /usr/lib/python*
are in this case (as of FC7). Even the template specs for python do not
show the BuildArch: noarch, that may be where it comes
from.
It's a small inconsistence (not very important in practise, I guess), I
just wanted to signal it...
Thank you for your quick answer. For myself, I'll add the noarch tag.
This seems cleaner.
Theo.
