I'm working the GSoC project 'RootFS Build Factory' under the guidance
of imcleod.
I've posted a request for access to the plague farm on
bugs.centos.org. Uploaded my ssh ang gpg public keys as requested.

Also wanted to inform you that with the packages you've compiled and
made available on http://armv7.dev.centos.org/repodir/ I was able to
generate a bootable rootfs with just bash and systemd using the Fedora
22 kernel. I did this on my Cubietruck. There are a few problems which
I am working on sorting out. I'm unable to login using the serial
console due to messages like

[ 81.541719] audit: type=1100 audit(81.525:83): pid=534 uid=0
auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=kernel msg='op=PAM:authentication
acct="" exe="/usr/bin/login" hostname=? addr=? terminal=ttyS0
res=failed'
[ 81.560997] audit: type=1112 audit(81.540:84): pid=534 uid=0
auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=kernel msg='op=login acct=""
exe="/usr/bin/login" hostname=? addr=? terminal=ttyS0 res=failed'

Something to do with SELinux I suppose.

My first task once I get access to the plague farm is to compile all
the necessary packages to get bash, networking and openssh-server
working. Do you guys have any suggestions on how I can generate a list
of SRPMS to accomplish just that. I tried using "yum deplist"
recursively and that gave me a list of 233 SRPMS. I haven't verified
the output yet.

kernel. http://imgur.com/HPTywGU
