Hi my name is Stephen Smoogen, and I am joining the CentOS ARM group to help on getting EPEL packages ported to this version of the OS.
I have worked in CentOS back in the EL-5 days doing some QA and other work as needed. I am currently working in Fedora Project in the infrastructure group with a primary interest in EPEL.
I will be ordering a RaspPi 2 (or 3 if that is what I get) to do the testing on. I will also be working on any build issues that I can.

Hi Smooge,
Nice to see you on the list ;-) One thing that would be good to know is if having "upstream" epel build (so at the Fedora builders level) for AltArch (like armhfp/aarch64) is still an option, and if so when would that be possible. In the meantime, we can try to rebuild/bootstrap something on our side (and I started that last week for pkgs having a high demand) and report that at the Epel level too. More than happy to give you plague-client access to the plague build farm for that centralized build effort

OK at this point I don't think we will be able to get i386 or arm32 into the main EPEL builders due to Fedora 24 readiness issues needing more effort in koji than secondary split-brain architectures. So instead I would like to look at a branch of centos via plague builders and using a snapshot status versus live update status. We can work out how they are to be mirrored etc from there.

Hi Smooge, ping me if you need any help to build EPEL packages.
Question: Is it OK to build them on RHEL? (I mean just for reproducing bugs etc - obviously the final packages will be built in Koji).
Rich.

That would be difficult, as there is no RHEL armhfp/armv7hl :-) That's also probably the reason why EPEL builds for such arch never started in Koji as that would mean embracing CentOS as the default buildroot for at least those arches that don't exist upstream. For aarch64 that's probably a different discussion as RHELSA will appear one day (but is already available ad Development Preview)
