Please stop trying to make devel-files ARCHALL. It can't be done if
you have 64 bit because you have arch-specific directories. If the
app has devel-files at all it sounds like some other apps may rely
on it and than we already decided to provide 64 bit libs just in
case. And the few 32 bit ones are not worth the effort with only a
few kbs of mirrorspace to gain.

IMHO the risk outweighs the gain here.


Best regards
