I might suggest that for now (until we get the mirror bits sorted), we create a centos-release-mitaka-altarch package. This would avoid needing to mess with the existing x86_64 bits. once everything is aligned, then we can obsolete/provides the replacement and use the standard package across all architectures.
Works for me.
I didn't understand why we need separate release -altarch package. I understand we do need separate CBS tags but they could be still mapped into the same per-arch locations under http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/cloud/ and http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/cloud/ so that current OpenStack CloudSIG .repo [1] which uses $basearch will work. Mappings for testing repo request (e.g. for RDO Newton [2]) would be:
The problem here is that the aarch64 builds are currently at mirror.centos.org/altarch/ not at /centos/, so either way we'll end up with split repositories for the architecture.
I'm only suggesting a second package as a short term solution until we come up with a better way to manage this.
