So far I have about 80% of Fedora Core 6 built for ARM, and with some minor gcc/glibc patching, it's been working pretty well for me so far. I suspect that the same patches applied to RHEL5 will produce a working version of RHEL5 for ARM without much effort.
RHEL5 is indeed based on Fedora Core 6, but has many patches and improvements. I'd suggest you to grab RHEL5 Beta 2 (install cd's + sources) and start rebuilding
I downloaded the ISO a couple of days ago and will try to start building stuff soon.
and removing the Red Hat branding. You can register for a free RHN trial account and grab the isos.
IIRC I just grabbed it off their ftp site.
I wonder what steps are necessary and what the criteria to become an "official" CentOS arch port, apart from (obviously!) producing a set of RPMS.
I'm can't give you a certain answer because I'm not a CentOS developer, but AFAIK you need to remove all Red Hat logos, copywrights, etc and since Red Hat is not supporting the ARM architecture, I'm afraid your port will not be as official as you wish...
I'm not very interested in doing an official RHEL5 arm port, I'm interested in porting CentOS 5 (whenever it comes out) to the ARM architecture and have ARM be an official CentOS arch.
