We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-5.2 for the i386 and x86_64 Architectures.
CentOS-5.2 is based on the upstream release EL 5.2.0, and includes packages from all variants including Server and Client. All upstream repositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for end users to work with. And the option to further enable external repositories at install time is now available in the installer. Please note that adding non distro repositories might impact system RAM requirements at install time. Refer to the CentOS Release Notes for CentOS 5.2 for more details.
Further Arch support for PowerPC, IA64 and Sparc are planned and will be released soon. These arch's will follow the existing pattern of release to Beta first, and then to Final.
does this means centos team are working on a sparc release again? since the upstream provider (afaik) has not a sparc support (the latest aurora/fedora development team working on it may be in f10).
ps. anyway thanks for your work!
CentOS for SPARC would totally make my day. I have hardware to lend if developers need access for testing... <hint hint hint...> :-D

Johnny has been single handedly pushing the sparc stuff along, I am sure he can use some help and support in his efforts, We have a bunch of machines we can test things on for the moment.
I'd say give us a few months and there should be something based on 5.2 that people can start testing and installing on their machines as well.
Please please please make an announcement when it is ready for testing!!! I'm more than happy to install and test til I'm blue in the face!!!

It might mean that the CentOS team is looking for spirited volunteers with more time then they need to help/take charge of the other arches.
It takes much of the main group's time just keeping up with i386 and x86-64. The project would also need build servers and test servers, and did I say volunteers?
