Why aren there any architecture independent OpenPKG binary RPMs?

0

As the previous answer explained, OpenPKG by design focuses on source RPMs and the building and installing directly from them. Binary RPMs are just an intermediate and temporary result in this approach. Binary RPMs make too much trouble and so we try to reduce their issues and not to add extra organizational complexity by the introduction of architecture independent packages. Hence we do not distinguish between architecture independent and dependent binary packages.
