Ticket #12206 (new enhancement)

Opened 2 years ago

Last modified 4 days ago

RFE: noarch metadata

Reported by: afb@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Low Milestone: MacPorts 1.9.0
Component: base Version:

Description

It would be nice to be able to flag ports such as perl or python as "noarch", meaning that they will work on either architecture without needing compilation.

This information can then be used e.g. when making packages, to avoid having to make one package for each arch but instead one "noarch" package for all of them.

Needs more work than is going to happen before 1.8, e.g. recording build arch in the registry and package metadata.
