+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; the current mirror tree proposal.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; We now have to discuss it, I think.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; i didn't follow the whole previous discussion about the mirror tree, but
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; would it be advisable to have a noarch subdir, next to i586 and x86_64 ?
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; This is not on my side. The internal distribution tree structure is more
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; related to build system than the global mirror tree structure.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; At least, the tree I am suggesting neither deny it, neither make it
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; easier.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> That is true, however from a globabl mirror pov; it kind of makes sense:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> suppose people would want to do the arm or other ports, the noarch packages
+</I>&gt;<i> can be exactly the same; therefor there is no need to list the noarch packages
+</I>&gt;<i> in i586 and having them symlinked or whatever to x86_64 which will have larger
+</I>&gt;<i> .cz and people will need to mirror both if they want x86_64 only, etc...
+</I>Actually, that&#8217;s exactly the point where it&#8217;s uncomfortable to have
+noarch outside the arch tree.
+
+If we only had i586 and x86_64 things would be quite simple, because
+packages are built at the same time. Now consider more exotic arch: You
+have to have machines that will compile for this arch. The problem is
+that they might be lagging behind a bit if they&#8217;re not powerful enough,
+or if we don&#8217;t have a sufficient number of machines.
+
+If some noarch packages depend on arch dependant packages, and these
+packages are not uptodate for arch $foo, that will lead to broken
+packages in this arch.
+
+Thus, having noarch packages outside the $foo tree is not feasible at
+the moment.
+
+Please also note that cross-compile is not an option either (but I&#8217;m not
+an expert in this area to explain it in details).
