+ <para><literal>NO_ARCH</literal> is meant to indicate

+ supported architectures. The goal is to reduce the amount
+ of resources spent on building and distributing the packages
+ such as network bandwidth and disk space on mirrors
+ and on distribution media. Currently, however,

+ and package builders) is not set up to fully benefit from
