But, the bigger question is where it leaves us if they just decide to quit after assimilating most of the related systems under a build ecosystem that no one else can reproduce easily.
There is no secret sauce to the buildsystem. It's not like we're converting TRS-80 Model II TRSDOS files to LS-DOS or anything here, where things aren't well-documented or completely undocumented.
Hey, I could have done that with my eyes closed and in z80 code. But those were simpler times.
I have reproduced to an extent the buildsystem for CentOS 5 on IA64, and with a little nudging in the right direction by some folks I was able to figure it out. The hard part, as as been said I don't know how many times, is getting the x.0's first tree's dependency tree and build sequence correct with the buildroot populated with a good starter set of packages (and this is very well documented in the Fedora documentation).
Anyway, the current work with seven.centos.org is a really good start.
I hope someone manages an ARM build eventually. It would be fun to play with cheap hardware and reliable code.
