Hi all,
I certainly interested in anything that interests ATrpms users. What
is needed to build ARM packages? Can one cross-build on x86_64? qemu?
You could use a cross compiler, but this would be against the usual
RH/Fedora build "rules" that require that all packages should be built
natively on the target architecture.
Qemu is an option but it can be quite painfully slow.
Having said that, there are a lot of affordable well supported ARM
machines that could be used, e.g. CuBox and hopefully soon the Raspberry Pi.

But how can we help you ATM? BTW we are also not using koji, but self
written scripts. But maybe for scaling reasons koji does make
sense. So perhaps you'd even like to kojify ATrpms even outside of
ARM? :)
I've been planning to get an ARM koji farm up and running in the near
future for precisely this reason. Since that is likely to sit idle most
of the time (except when a large set of packages are updated upstream),
there is no reason why this farm couldn't be used for building atrpms
packages for ARM. It would also mean that another maintainer (i.e. you
for atrpms packages) could submit packages for building. I am sure a
pattern list could then be applied to separate out the packages into
different suitable groups (upstream, atrpms, extras, etc.).
