Hi Mamoru,
buildsys keeps sending this to me; but how am I supposed to fix the build for ppc64 now? Unfortunately I have no such system available. The only thing I could try is sourceforge's build farm.
Cheers Alex

aldrin has broken dependencies in the development tree: On ppc64: aldrin - 0.11-5.fc8.noarch requires pyzzub = 0:0.2.3 Please resolve this as soon as possible.
Here aldrin itself is "noarch", however aldrin requires pyzzub, which is arch dependent and currently pyzzub is not available on ppc64.
How should this broken dependency be treated? Do we have to mark aldrin as arch dependent? Or should we simply ignore this?
"ExcludeArch: ppc64" in the aldrin spec file. That information is added to the src.rpm only, however, but in turn the compose tool doesn't publish the noarch build for ppc64.
