-BuildArch: noarch
+# rear contains only bash scripts plus documentation so that on first glance it colud be "BuildArch: noarch"
+# but actually it is not "noarch" because it only works on those architectures that are explicitly supported.
+# Of course the rear bash scripts can be installed on any architecture just as any binaries can be installed on any architecture.
+# But the meaning of architecture dependent packages should be on what architectures they will work.
+# Therefore only those architectures that are actually supported are explicitly listed.
+# This avoids that rear can be "just installed" on architectures that are actually not supported (e.g. ARM or IBM z Systems):
+ExclusiveArch: %ix86 x86_64 ppc ppc64
+# Furthermore for some architectures it requires architecture dependent packages (like syslinux for x86 and x86_64)
+# so that rear must be architecture dependent because ifarch conditions never match in case of "BuildArch: noarch"
+# see the GitHub issue https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/629

+# In the end this should tell the user that rear is known to work only on %ix86 x86_64 ppc ppc64
+# and on %ix86 x86_64 syslinux is explicitly required to make the bootable ISO image
+# (in addition to the default installed bootloader grub2) while on ppc ppc64 the
+# default installed bootloader yaboot is also useed to make the bootable ISO image.
