Hi James,

That is great news!

What stands between the progress made so far, and the approval of the AltArch SIG?  (If that's a rookie question answerable via FAQ page, please feel free to redirect me).

Thanks!

Subject: [CentOS-devel] CentOS 7 ppc64le (power little endian) rpms, build logs, mock configs

Here are the first two rounds of CentOS 7 ppc64le rpms, build logs, and mock configs:

Round A: http://ppcbootstrap.lon1.centos.org/C7a/ppc64le/

* Built atop Fedora 21 ppc64le VMs
* Built from http://vault.centos.org/7.1.1503/os/Source/SPackages/ and c7-ppc64le branch on git.centos.org
* Source rpms were temporarily modified to remove circular dependencies during the bootstrap process

Round B: http://ppcbootstrap.lon1.centos.org/C7b/ppc64le/

* Built atop Centos 7 ppc64le VMs
* Built from http://vault.centos.org/7.1.1503/os/Source/SPackages/ , http://vault.centos.org/7.1.1503/updates/Source/SPackages/ , and c7-ppc64le branch on git.centos.org
* noarch rpms were skipped as those will be taken from c7-x86_64
* Only gcc.spec (%global build_ada 0), curl.spec (upstream testcase fix), ghostscript.spec (upstream segfault fix) and nss.spec (upstream fix for expired PayPal cert) were modified. I will provide further details on these alterations on the altarch ppc64le wiki page once that gets created.

Feedback is most welcome. You may find jpoc on the #centos-devel and #centos-ppc irc channels. Once the AltArch SIG is officially approved, we will share installable alpha/beta images and rpm repositories.

Thanks
-James
