Yes, we have quite a few packages built for Fedora 10, 11, and rawhide.
Unfortunately, we do not yet have the installer work completed, so we we
do not have official images for any Fedora tree yet, which is why we
haven't done announcements.
Dennis Gilmore might have some "install Aurora, yum update" recipes that
work...
Right now the easiet way is do a minimal install of the F-9 beta
http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/test/9-
Beta/Fedora/sparc/ then grabbing the F-10 rpm from koji
http://sparc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=27751
then you can yum update to the F-11 based tree.
if you want to update to rawhide then wait a few days. im going to get the
rawhide tree uploaded this week. its ~ 30g so will take a couple of days to
upload
