[fedora-arm] F13 Beta Repository Problems

[Matthew Wilson]

Hello,

I now have a F13 Beta install on my IGEP board (BeagleBoard clone)
with a custom-built 2.6.35.11 kernel.  A big thank you to the efforts
of everyone involved in F13 on ARM.

However, at the weekend, I spotted some weird behaviour with yum.
There are lots (too many to list here) of packages that are on the
koji system but not available through the yum repo.  Installing
certain packages will give a long list of unresolved dependencies; I
then found those on koji, installed them manually, and then tried
again.  I appreciate that this method is less than ideal (not least
from the perspective of maintaining a consistent system).

Some of the missing RPMs are from multi-RPM packages where the rest of
the RPMs are (strangely) present in the repo.  Furthermore, there are
a handful of F12 packages I had to install.

Since then, I see that someone has renamed the
/mash/beta/f13-arm-2011-02-21 directory to f13-arm-2011-02-21_hold,
further breaking yum.

What's the most useful thing I can do?  If it's a known issue, I'll
sit tight until it's fixed.

Many thanks,
Matthew
