Hello EPEL community, I'm considering going through the steps of getting a Fedora package I maintain into EPEL. This package is currently very arch-specific as it's used for collecting instruction trace data to feed into a timer accurate simulator. The architecture in question is IBM PowerPC. Since Fedora has demoted ppc/ppc64 from being a primary arch (starting with F13), I'm wondering what effect (if any) that decision has on ppc/ppc64 packages in EPEL. I will want to target this package to RHEL 5 and (when available) RHEL 6. Are there any problems or issues I should know about?
Thanks.

None afaik. What EPEL supports is different from what Fedora supports.
