Starting a new status thread for CentOS 7 POWER Little Endian. On Monday, Arrfab turned over the keys to a pairf of shiny new Fedora 21 ppc64le VMs running atop PowerKVM. I created a f21-ppc64le mock config and built a Linux from Scratch [1] toolchain with CentOS 7.1.1503 sources. This is necessary to jump back in time from Fedora 21 glibc-2.20 to CentOS 7 glibc-2.17. I then proceeded to build enough ppc64le.el7 rpms with the LFS toolchain to construct a minimal c7.01.01-ppc64le mock buildroot.
As of last night, the minimal c7.01.01-ppc64le buildroot is complete and I’m untangling circular dependencies in the CentOS 7.1.1503 source rpms. I’ve built 700 of 2523 source packages so 27% complete with this first pass.
Next, I’ll bootstrap java-1.7.0-openjdk and continue to loop through ppc64le rpm builds with mock. In the next 1-2 weeks, I should have 95+% of the source packages building for ppc64le. At which point we can create the first CentOS 7 ppc64le VMs and rebuild c7.01.02-ppc64le atop CentOS 7 instead of Fedora 21.
CentOS 7.1.1503 ppc64le Alpha images for the early adopters sometime after that.

The latest CentOS 7 ppc64le tally is 1983 of 2523 source packages building or 78% complete. Hit a small snag with the atlas package not building that I didn’t run into before. Thinking it may be due to the single core on the Fedora 21 builder VM. Once atlas builds, the rest the source packages should fall into line in short order. java-1.7.0-openjdk is built as are most of the apache/jpackage/maven stack.
Great news !! I look forward to help the beta evaluation.

The atlas pthread build issue was resolved by adding multiple cores to the Fedora 21 builder VM. The Centos 7 ppc64le phase1 build is 97+% complete. I have built 2460 source packages, over 6400 binary rpms and there shouldn’t be any more circular dependencies to unwind. We are ready to create the first pass CentOS 7 LE builder VMs. There are at least 57 source packages in the 2523 source package list that are exclusive to Intel arches.
If someone on the centos build team would find me on irc or email, we could discuss lorax version and configuration to build CentOS 7 ppc64le builders and tying my c7.01.01-ppc64le repository into a more structured build process to generate a c7.01.02-ppc64le repository.
In the meantime, I’ll circle back and help get CentOS 7 ppc64/ppc caught up to the same point as ppc64le.

Thanks James for the hard work on ppc64le .. now also time to do the same for ppc64 :D

The second phase build of c7-ppc64le is wrapping up. I’m down to 5 source package failures (atlas, certmonger, python-urwid, swig, virt-top). This build was done atop c7-ppc64le VMs instead of fedora 21 ppc64le VMs. We hope to publicly share the rpms, build logs and mock configs shortly. Install images and repos will have to wait until the altarch SIG [1] is formally approved.
I have also built most of the c7-updates tree [2] which contains all the security and bug errata post RHEL 7.1 GA.
