Folks,
There are currently 81 RPMs for armv7hl at the following location:
http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/fedora-arm/armv7hl/
I'll sync up more as we go...on the way to a buildroot!

There are now 98 packages! Ok, so a few too many changes in one commit and I'll attempt to avoid that going forward. But we're near 100 packages now (a large chunk of these are due to work from Dennis yesterday). If we count noarch packages, we're well over 100.
Now. What we need to do is bootstrap python. We can think about that next week. My suggestion is that we need to consider hooking up an ability to run an existing python over some kind of socket (a "lite" form of something like scratchbox), since a lot of python needs python. Or we bootstrap by cross building python, or we hack around a lot. Discussion please :)
Jon.

Each package is built, then installed into the rootfs, with a copy in /stage3. Yea, it adds some size, but it's not insane. And we're mostly continuing this until we have python, and then the deps for yum, mock, and koji. After that, we don't need the rootfs any more (after we rebuild all of these packages once with themselves as base).
So if anyone wants to do something useful to help, we need python built. To do that, we need to satisfy some deps. That might include things like tk (which needs python indirectly), unless it turns out we can get away without it. I haven't looked enough yet. But I think we need to seriously have some of us consider ways of using python to build python in addition to reducing these deps down by building from source with a minimal config sufficient to bootstrap the deps and rebuild python.
Jon.
