I'm refreshing the procedure for updating setup.ini on sourceware
As part of this, I would like to suggest again that a noarch directory
be added alongside x86 and x86_64, and its files be included in each
arch's setup.ini. There are a LOT of noarch packages in the distro, and
it would save both disk space on sourceware and the mirrors, as well as
bandwidth for all (including users), with a noarch directory. Of
course, I am willing to help identify candidates for noarch, as well as
consider changes to cygport to simplify this.
