Re: Fixing packages which rely on obsolete packages

I'm refreshing the procedure for updating setup.ini on sourceware

As part of this, I would like to suggest again that a noarch directory be added alongside x86 and x86_64, and its files be included in each arch's setup.ini. There are a LOT of noarch packages in the distro, and it would save both disk space on sourceware and the mirrors, as well as bandwidth for all (including users), with a noarch directory. Of course, I am willing to help identify candidates for noarch, as well as consider changes to cygport to simplify this.
