Perhaps since RHEL5 is something of an important platform for mock we should consider making this codepath conditional, or otherwise fix this without forking.
Hello Mike,
thanks for getting the new release of mock out, also for the pykickstart commit to keep working with older python releases. I've moved to newest rpms and besides mock I've also tested koji a bit more now. Some recompile tests with kernel,glibc,memtest86+ and a dozen other rpms did all work ok, so the special koji config steps should be complete now...
(Also Michal Hlavinka has merged in some bits for dovecot to have newest Fedora Rawhide rpms compile on RHEL5, so overall it's been a good week to reduce extra patches for me.)
thanks,
Florian La Roche
Hello,
I'm also going to update all my C5p buildservers to mock-0.9.19 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?
I try to build the python-ctypes-1.0.2-2.el5 version. Does anyone had the same issue? What python-ctypes version do you use or prefer?
Cheers, Brian.

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...

Hi Florian,
I know the little restrictions (like exclusivearch), but using mock-utils' build-from-scratch powers, it's much better to support the 'outside platform'. I see that only what outside is - is the kernel and the compiler flags. Each of the platforms (NSLU2, Sheevaplug, HTC-MSM and TI-OMAP) needs special Kernels because they are more or less types of complete Systems-on-Chip. The userland is always the same and tuned for v5te - this is the interesing thing to rebuild CentOS. This platform is also 32-bit and little-endian, so it's not far away from i386. You're right with Fedora-arm, that's why I also started with FC6-arm and let it convert to CentOS-5. FC-arm is very useful to understand what the ARM specific patches are standing for.
I know that C5p is not binary compatible to anything - but is is nice to have the rock-solid software for the new platforms. (PowerPC-32 was much easier and I will probably be there at LinuxTag 2010 - my G4 Mac (400MHz) has still CentOS 5.2 and is slowly turning to 5.4).
I've targeted the Python issue on ARM - there were branches in the .spec which gone the wrong way. So I had to define macros for the python package.
B.S.
