I wonder if setting NO_ARCH=yes brings any significant benefits to how
our ports collection works. I'd be grateful if you could shed some light
on the importance of setting NO_ARCH whenever possible.
NO_ARCH means that there is no need to build packages for each of the
supported architectures, e.g. for pure interpreted scripts or data files
that do not depend on byte-order and word-size (e.g. many font file
formats).
The result is reduced resources spent on building the packages, network
traffic, disk space on mirrors and on distribution media.
Yes that is the goal, in practice it is not yet the case, so it is purely
informational, but that what we are aiming at yes.
Thanks!
