Apple G5 tower

[Jeff Gustafson]

Hi all,
Recently a G5 tower fell into my hands. I was hoping to install Fedora
on it. I found that F13 has not been built for ppc/ppc64. I have read
that someone was trying to setup a build environment for Fedora, but I
haven't seem much discussion about it. 
I suppose I could put this beast on the Internet and install koji and
see if people will help me get a viable Fedora release going.
Anyone know what the current status is?
...Jeff

I am in the same boat as you. I have a G4 laptop (though its sound
card seems dead) that I just have F12 on. Did we have builders for
going for F14 with?

I'm looking into what it will take to setup my own koji build system. I
am currently not sure how to import the src rpms into koji. I am hoping
that all I will need to do is rsync a source tree (e.g. f13,
development, etc) into koji and it will build whatever it finds.
I think this G5 tower has the horsepower and RAM to run something like
koji and mock. It is just a matter of setting things up. I have a system
at a colo that could host the builds and ISO images once everything is
working.
