Dear Karanbir, For the dependency on RHEL, I think you might misunderstand what Haiyong provides. He did build the whole binary collection on a S822L Power8 server with RHEL7 installed. But during the bootstrap, he did not use any of the existing binary packages from RHEL7 repository. All the CentOS binaries are built from zero with no dependency on RHEL7 packages. The RHEL7 is simply used as a building platform. And maybe a few source packages are used to solve building issues. So he claimed that in theory he can get the same result in any modern linux distributions. Hope it makes things clear. fxzhang at ict.ac.cn From: youbest at sina.com Date: 2014-11-24 20:55 To: centos-devel Subject: Re: [CentOS-devel] epel-7-ppc64 Hi, Karanbir Singh I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean, I did not rely on specific RHEL resources in the whole building process. Source code using CentOS 7.0.1406 provides, At http://vault.centos.org/7.0.1406/os/Source/SPackages/ (http://95.211.98.141/centos/ should be a mirror like), and a small amount from RHEL 7 for the PPC package source code. ----- Original Message ----- From: Karanbir Singh <mail-lists at karan.org> To: centos-devel at centos.org Subject: Re: [CentOS-devel] epel-7-ppc64 Date: 2014-11-24 18:24 On 24/11/14 09:34, youbest at sina.com wrote: > Hi, All > My name is Sun Haiyong, you can call me "Haiyong", I recommend a > CentOS code based on PPC64 (Big Endian) Install-system and software > repository: > (Install-DVD ISO) > http://mirror.lemote.com/CPOS/images/CPOS-7-Installation-20141120-1.iso > (software repository) http://mirror.lemote.com/CPOS/os/ > I am reasonabally sure that this wasent bootstrapped from publicly available sources, this is built on RHEL7 itself.
