Effectively, we need a git repo ( I'll do one ) that holds mock configs,
that are then injected into the buildsystem. The buildsystem keeps
looping over srpms till it gets to a point where either they are all
built, or there are only failing rpms left in the stack and each one has
failed 5 times.

each new commit to the git repo restarts the buildsystem ( if its paused
at the moment )

we need to bootstrap all of ppc64 ( has someone got a list from 7rc ? )
and we need enough ppc ( 32bit stuff ) to build the multilib side of
things ( again, who's got a list from 7rc ? )

I will setup some repos that can be used for the bootstrap.

the OSL folks are going to reprovision some lpar's for us to use as the
buildsystem, should be done in a day or so ( but that should not stop us
from going ahead and getting the mock configs setup, or atleast a few
basic templates ).

specifics, including example mock configs later today.
