Any solution in sight for this one (xulrunner fallout)?

kazehakase also supports WebKit, and there's a kazehakase-webkit subpackage, 
but I don't know how complete the WebKit port is (i.e. if it is suitable to 
replace the Gecko port with). Unfortunately, I doubt its problems with 
xulrunner will be solved in time for the F9 release.

(ppc64 only, darcs is available on the other arches)

That's a fun one. perl-Test-AutoBuild-darcs is a subpackage of the noarch 
package perl-Test-AutoBuild. This means the usual tricks don't work:
* we can't ExcludeArch: ppc64 because ExcludeArch doesn't work on a subpackage,
* we can't disable building the subpackage on ppc64 because this is a noarch 
package.

darcs is not available on ppc64 because ghc isn't, see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246051
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=239713

Is there anything which can be done about that or is this just going to always 
show up?
