Its going to happen, the test-builds I've run were done for both x86_64 and powerpc ( but ppc64 only ). the ppc userland only multilib has a bit of a challenge attached to it since the rhel7b1 tree does not deliver enough ppc content to build against ( we can likely try and get something setup from f19's areas, but I've not had the time to look as yet ). > We also have a vested interest in the ppc64 / ppc32 question, since our > app is somewhat bound into the 32-bit arch and the 64-bit kernel / > 32-bit userland structure we inherit from F12. does the ppc userland in rhel7b1 cover the scope ? or are you saying you need ( and are therefore offering to help build ) a larger ppc cover ? > We have a small number of PS710’s in-house, and will probably get at > least one of whatever winds up being the equivalent Power8 machine as > soon as it becomes available.

In the next couple of days, I am going to organise enough content around the CentOS-7 build process that we can get a larger bootstrap in place; a basic dump of the content is available now at git.centos.org ( with a mirror on github.com ) that should allow anyone to get started. there are some assumptions made, re; where the content is and how it moves around. Happy to accept any and all help you are able to offer ( its going to mostly be a case of finding some time to parse build fails and offer fix's ). Tim Verhoeven has offered to also get involved and maybe even take the reins of the power build process. A gentle reminder that the primary blocker at this point that keeps the content from being published from the test builds is : we dont have artwork to replace RHEL content with, and the broader TM hunt hasent happened. If someone is able to put in a bit of time to help organise and then maybe run this branding hunt in the rhel7b1 content, that would rock and I will help get started and stay involved to help ( but I lack the bandwidth at this point to run this effort myself ). - KB -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
