Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm in the process of building myself a 32bit tree of the RHEL7 beta as<br>
I do have a few x86 machines I am not ready to retire yet.<br>
<br>
Now that CentOS is all open and community etc. I was wondering if<br>
there'd be some interest for me to rebuild the results within the CentOS<br>
project and turn it into an official release long term.<br>
My unfinished work so far is based on an older RHEL5 buildsystem I still<br>
had lying around but I am happy to switch this to the CentOS toolstack<br>
if there's interest.<br>
This would mean filing off the serials, removing trademarks and all<br>
these things which I hadn't planned on doing initially but on the other<br>
hand, it should be very easy doing that benefitting from the regular<br>
CentOS work on these topics.<br>
<br>
Is anyone else interested in a i[36]86 build of CentOS7 and would be<br>
willing and able to contribute to it?<br>
Or is x86_64 the only release really needed?<br>
<br>
If there's some interest, I am sure this could be turned into a nice<br>
project.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
Andreas<br>
