Hi Jon,

koji buildsys just grew support for noarch subpackages.  It is time to 
go ahead with changing wesnoth F-11 to noarch subpackages instead of 
using the non-standard koji extra arches as F-9 and F-10 use.  Here are 
the proposed steps to take:

1) http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=4097
Keep F-9 and F-10 with the 1.4.x version, using koji extra arches as-is. 
  Why?  While koji F-10 supports noarch sub-packages, F-9 rpm doesn't 
support it.  Also while I personally would prefer F-10 be upgraded to 
the upcoming wesnoth-1.6.x version, fedora-games SIG rejected this in 
the past because it breaks existing saved games.  (I don't particularly 
care that it does, but whatever.)
2) Prepare a new wesnoth-1.5.x.src.rpm using noarch subpackages.
3) Remove the current conditionals that builds and installs different 
stuff depending on the arch.
4) Add "BuildArch: noarch" to the data subpackage.
5) Test the build locally on F-10 or F-11.  Is only the data subpackage 
noarch?
6) Ask rel-eng to remove extra arches from wesnoth dist-f11.
7) Checkin and build.
