--- Comment #6 from Ben Beasley <[email protected]> ---
In my opinion, what elfio does (arched base package with noarch -devel
subpackage) should be allowed for header-only libraries, because it addresses
the stated reasons for requiring them to be arched:

- The tests still run on all architectures, because the base package is arched.
- Koji can already detect the situation where an allegedly-noarch subpackage is
actually different across architectures
(https://docs.pagure.org/koji/misc/#how-noarch-sub-packages-are-built).

However, Petr Menšík is correct that the guidelines don’t currently allow this.

I should probably bring this up on the packaging list and see if there is
support for revising the guidelines to allow the technique used in elfio.
