Hello,
I'm also going to update all my C5p buildservers to mock-0.9.19
Mock works fine for x86 and x86_64 to re-compile python-ctypes from EPEL. No problems there at all.
and try to build the needed stuff upon Python 2.4 (-devel) which is normally shipped with [base]. Is it right that I have to update Python to 2.5 (shortly for building) to get the missing ffi member (see below) accessed that seems to be in there?
Your question is about porting CentOS to a completely non-supported platform. The mainframe port is prepared from Red Hat and thus creating a CentOS Mainframe release should be rather straight-forward. Arm is even more outside and a completely new port. You need to decide if CentOS5 is the right start or if Fedora-arm is better suited. Changing something like python to a new major version will for sure also give quite a few headaches...
