NSLU2 question
by Adam Miller
I purchased a NSLU2 a couple months ago with hopes to hack on OpenWRT
on it, but as I look around the net more it appears that distros such
as debian, gentoo, and ubuntu, also the BSDs -> netbsd and freebsd are
running on the NSLU2. I was curious if anyone has had any success
running Fedora on the NSLU2 and if so, might there be any
documentation on doing so?
Thank you,
-Adam

qt: timeout too low?
by Rex Dieter
I took a look to see if I could help out getting the qt/kde stack built for
arm, and notice qt build failed.
http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=12543
Scary, but it took over 24 hours, and koji or mock aborted the build when it
was ~%95 done.
I would venture to guess that the 24hr timeout may need to be increased to
get some largish pkgs to build here (like qt, or openoffice).
Or is there any other advice, comment to help here?

Koji builds and Contributions
by Kedar Sovani
As mentioned earlier a lot of koji build activity can be seen at the ARM koji server. (http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji) The goal is to be as close to the Fedora releases as possible. And F-11 is the upcoming release.
The set of supported packages is growing. Although we'll try to make sure that the Fedora repositories just build with ARM out of the box, as packages move forward there will be few breakages. Any contributions for this effort are welcome.
Currently, the following types of builds are taking place:
* Packages are being "shadowed" (using koji-shadow) from dist-f11 upstream
* New packages are being built for dist-f10
* New versions are being built for dist-f10-updates
As we go through these build iterations, quite a few builds will fail. The failure could be a genuine failure requiring a patch, or a failure because of build ordering. The failed tasks can be looked at from the koji interface.
Feel free to send out patches to fedora-arm(a)redhat.com and then to respective package maintainers for fixing build failures. You could also help in analyzing or fixing build ordering related issues with your Fedora koji accounts.
Kedar.

Fedora packages for the ARMv7 instruction set
by Ilyes Gouta
Hi,
Is there any plan to provide Fedora packages built for the ARMv7 architecture?
ARMv5TE looks a bit old but still ensures the compatibility with older
ARM cores. However the ARMv7 instruction set improves a lot (compared
to ARMv6) by adding support for the novel NEON instructions and
updated VFP3, and I think that it really worth the shot. After all,
it's all about setting up a new Qemu VM with a properly configured GCC
compiler for the ARMv7 profile, right?
Regards,
Ilyes Gouta.
