Description Dennis Gregorovic 2008-10-20 14:36:37 UTC

The redhat-release package is an arch-specific package but does not contain any binaries, so it ends up producing empty debuginfo packages.  Changing redhat-release to be noarch would be too risky for a minor release.  Therefore, we should tweak the spec file to not build debuginfo packages.
