Just a quick update on c7 ppc (32-bit big endian). I’ve got most of the circular dependencies untangled up to the gnome/kde stack. I am now automating a rebuild of 7.2.1511 ppc using the rpms I built manually from the first phase. I will then fold some of the ppc rpms into the 7.2.1511 ppc64 repos and do some testing before they get signed and pushed to the mirrors.
