Can anyone with a well-connected crystal ball suggest a timeframe for an IA64 release of CentOS 5? Weeks? Months? Never?
There has not been a lot of support for other arches besides x86-64 and i386 up to now. Not sure if it is the hardware or the manpower, but maybe both with a lack of much interest thrown in for good measure.
No crystal ball here, but the last mention of progress on IA64 on the centos-devel list was in Feb. 2008. Last mention on centos-qa was Nov. 2007. If there is substantial demand for IA64 (PPC, Sparc, etc.) it is not very evident.
