Hello everybody, This part is mentioned in my GSoC proposal but I thought I should bring it up here as well.
How do you feel about taking a slightly different approach to ARM development? Viz. Cross Compiling. We could use existing infrastructure x86,x86_64 servers to build packages for ARMv7.
This will require writing some plugins for Yum, Mock & Koji based on work done by msalter from RedHat. I am referring to this post https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-buildsys-list/2009-July/msg00000.html
The way I see it, cross compiling will get packages compiled faster and would be easy to setup. We won't have to rely of ARM Hardware from online.net
A thing to ponder over is whether this fits in the CentOS policy.
