we use mock on x86_64 hosts, power7 is starting off. I've attached a
mock config here.

how long is that piece of string ?

we dont remove anything

Information about the infrastructure used, where its hosted and how its
configured is considered privileged information and isnt released to the
public; its also site specific and has no bearing on what we deliver to
the users. In a nutshell: its a bunch of servers, Where they are, and
who / how they are managed isnt public. Everything else is just a case
of rpmbuild -ba <srpm>; rinse + repeat.
