`BuildArch: noarch` on -devel only packages

[Maxwell G]

Hi everyone,

I have a quick question: is there a reason that we don't add `BuildArch: noarch` to source only go packages? To be clear, the `-devel` subpackages themselves have `BuildArch: noarch`, but the main packages don't. Unless I'm missing something, Koji still seems to create separate build jobs for each architecture.

Thanks,
Maxwell

I think that the rational is basically this https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_use_noarch_only_... . In addition if I'm not mistaken koji will check that the noarch sub-packages are actually the same across all arches, else failing the build, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
