Package Maintainers,

cygport 0.22.0 is on its way to the mirrors.  With this release, and
thanks to Jon Turney's continuing work on calm (the replacement for
upset which generates setup.ini), packages marked ARCH=noarch will be
uploaded once under the /noarch/release hierarchy instead of into each
of /x86/release and /x86_64/release.  This change is intended to save
disk space and bandwidth for both sourceware and our mirrors.

A package should be marked ARCH=noarch IF AND ONLY IF *all* subpackages
thereof do not contain anything compiled with the *native* gcc, and the
file contents are (or can be) 100% identical for x86 and x86_64.
Examples include, but are not limited to, packages which contain only:


this is not a noarch one
