Check the x86_64 repos and see if they are there, as I would expect. Then work with our builders to get them added.
If they are in the epel7_x86_64, then join the 'figure out how to get epel7-arm' built group....

Folks
In my attempts to get a Raspberry Pi 2 environment (using Centos7 - arm7hl 1511) working and doing the kinds of server things I think I would like, I noticed that there's no support for several goodies I'm used to using:
pptpd (poptop)
ntfs-3g (for reading windows disks)
perl-Authen-PAM
I've consulted the repositories supplied with the 1511 distribution, plus:
epel (baseurl=http://repo.medon.htt-consult.com/epel7/noarch)
Is there anything in plan for these items?
My goal is to replace some Centos 6 ancient machines with Arm plus external hd.

Robert: If "join the 'figure out...' is a statement that others are awaiting the completion of that task, then yes, I'll add my voice. I wish I retained the development skills I once had way-back-when (when systems were simpler), but I have little experience in compiling and building linux stuff. My background goes back to the 80s with Tandem computers. In the Centos/Linux world, all I can do is be patient, try to describe undesirable behavior in a clear way for the developers, and wait.
I think for me the best is to keep trying things, and if I read the leaders' comments properly, we'll eventually get a fully functional Centos 7 on Arm. It may take a year, but nothing I'm doing is pressing.
