New comment by fosslinux on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/24357#issuecomment-677287787 Comment: After some discussion on IRC. I believe the best way forward is to drop *any* distinction between data and normal packages, i.e. drop noarch, no `noexecutable=yes`, nothing like that, and instead improve the strip/debug/shlibprovides hooks to be faster. I am working on the strip hook now, there's some pretty clear optimizations that can be done. (Yes, I know I was saying keep a shorthand before, but I wasn't very well versed on how these things worked and now I have been otherwise convinced). Also, as per @the-maldridge 's suggestion above, `archs=noarch` will be removed from every package at once. I'll fix up this PR very soon. Do we want to revbump noarch packages, or not?
