CentOS-7 x86_64 and i686 firefox packages are now signed and pushed to
the master server.  They should be available on mirror.centos.org within
an hour.

Expect the CentOS-6 firefox packages tomorrow before.

And the other Centos-7 altarch packages (ppc64, ppc64le, aarch64,
armhfp) on Friday.  There is no longer a ppc (32) firefox package as
some of the tool kits do not build in ppc (32) .. that is also the case
in RHEL (no longer a ppc firefox).

There is a possibility that the armhfp version could take longer than
the other CentOS-7 AltAtch versions .. still workignon some technical
issues on the rust-toolset for armhfp.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
