Just a status update on that plague farm.
I identified today some glitches in the setup we had on those nodes
and reflected those changes in the cfgmgmt.

I then found that mock 1.2.7 has a strange build issue when used with
plague-builder, but working fine directly on the f21 node. I had no
time to investigate why, but tested a "yum downgrade mock" and
plague-builder is now happy with mock-1.1.41-3.fc21.noarch

So, while waiting for Howard's initial tree, I decided to test if the
plague setup is now robust, and I just put the 2400+ CentOS 7.0.1406
SRPMS in the build queue (through plague-client). Let's see what can
come out of it :-)

If everything works fine, we'll have to discuss about multiple things,
like :

* who would like to get build access (through plague-client)
* what to do with modified SRPM (like a specific patch, as plague
doesn't support building from git)
* what to do with custom mock config files for specific packages (and
how to distribute that )

PS : we have actually some "issue" regarding public reporting :
Scaleway blocks by default outgoing tcp/25, so all plague attempts to
send mail reports are failing.
The plague webui (who does remember that ?) was written for
mod_python, which is now deprecated and unavailable. And it seems that
those .psp files can't work through mod_wsgi

Cheers,
