Could I build an initrd on another node than the client? For example on the
master? In that case I might prefer to have the package as noarch, just in
case the master is of different architecture than the client.

systemimager-initrd_template-x86_64-$version.noarch.rpm
makes sense, too, one needs to put the %Requires: lines inside %ifarch
blocks. With multiarch setups one would have to install the additional
packages manually.

But if you _allways_ want to build initrd on the client, an arch dependent rpm
is fine, of course.

Erich
