When you submit the SRPM it will be built again using both systems, so it needs to be able to build on both.


So should it be taken that any .spec file written from this point onwards has to be able to build on both 32 and 64 architectures without modification?
Packaging well will cure headaches of many :) But learning to package will cause headaches in many :(

It is a great advantage for future packages, that each repo has the same dependencies with the same built in features. But, if there is a reason for differences, I don't think anyone has said you can't do it.
