</I>Actually, that’s exactly the point where it’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’re not powerful enough,
or if we don’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’m not
an expert in this area to explain it in details).
