I'm facing some discrepancies in repositories structure for ppc64le. In x86_64 qemu-kvm-ev is shipped within http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/virt/x86_64/kvm-common/ which is the path I was expecting. Now, looking at ppc64le I see it shipped within: http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/extras/ppc64le/Packages/ and being extras enabled by default it overrides qemu-kvm shipped by core os. Can we at least replicate the same structure between http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7 and http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7 ? next, I see cockpit available for x86_64 in http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64/Packages/ but it's missing in http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/extras/ppc64le/Packages/ I see cockpit in fedora ppc64le: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/ buildinfo?buildID=869569 so it should be possible to get it on centos as well.
