[fedora-arm] armv7hl Koji Builders

[Donald Gullett]

I have been watching the build process closely so that I could try to do a arm5 build. I have a sheeva plug and I have a f12 and f13 build I have been working with to try to bootstrap my own f15 from looking at what they are doing . If you have some instructs and a already compiled stage 1 I can chroot into I would be more than happy to participate in building rpms from srpms and creating a rootfs. I'm new at this and watching each week closely to see how this all works :) give me info and I'll run with it as much as I can!!!
