Actually there is a means of this being supported when F-14 gets replicated
to the secondary mirrors. I'm working to get this to happen but there's a
few holdups.

Poke me on IRC/gtalk and its likely I can push it through, a few like csound
are being fun but we're getting there.

Poke me on IRC/gtalk. This one is a side effect of the mass rebuild script
due to the bump to python. Hopefully we'll past this one soon.

Fixing yum on F14-arm build os31

The default yum config - which we include - points to the official
Fedora mirrors, and those don't really support unsupported
architectures like ARM. Surprise!

Of course it's in my list of things to fix. In the meantime, here's
what you can do

 - edit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-update.repo -- look at the first
section, disable it (enabled=0)

 - edit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo -- look at the first section,
disable gpg checks (gpgcheck=0), comment out the mirrorlist line, and
add
   baseurl=http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/repos/dist-f14-build/latest/arm/

You're done! Note that it is a partial repo, and it only has the
packages at the F14 release time versions. Additionally, some packages
are missing or tagged wrong.

If you want a package that is missing, ping Peter to see if it'll be
available soon.

If you see a package or dependency bail out complaining about
python(abi)=2.6, let Peter know. The repo is just showing the wrong
package (and the right one is likely there).

cheers,
