Hi, We're close to having ARM builds in 11.3.0, just a couple more in-progress issues to resolve.
I think the one pending area that we haven't discussed is repo layout for RPM dropboxes. My thoughts: With a fully functioning koji and complete-ish repos it will be time to remind people that dropboxes should only be used in exceptional circumstances: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/RPM_Dropbox i.e. a lot of the stuff in f14-arm should instead be built from koji (we're now at the point to make that happen, and it's partially already been done). But that still leaves a couple of exceptions to take care of. We should use the "f14" dropbox for all packages that are not specific to the XO-1.75/ARM platform (even if built for ARM). So that would include sugar* and runin from the existing f14-arm repo. This also brings a few advantages: the noarch packages are shared with x86 and not duplicated, it becomes quite easy to see which package versions lack ARM builds (since everything is side-by-side in a directory), and its one less repo for us and the infra to care about. Then we'd create a new, f14-xo1.75 repo for all platform-specific XO-1.75 packages. From the existing f14-arm repo, that would just be the kernel and firmware. The builds would then draw from f14 and f14-xo1.75, dropping f14-arm. As Martin points out, yum copes just fine with having multiple arches in the same repo. This brings us nice symmetry: XO-1 uses f14 and f14-xo1 XO-1.5 uses f14 and f14-xo1.5 XO-1.75 uses f14 and f14-xo1.75 And in each of the f14-xo* repos, the only packages present are kernel and bootfw.
