I had a few things I wanted to submit as patches but have been holding back on it. Meanwhile I had a few equipment failures and had to rebuild some drives and used my main ARM system for testing the evolving F17 for ARM which has finally gone GA. ( Along with some disruption from a flood which fortunately missed the XOs). I think the approach overall that I have been taking is a bit different from yours as my long term goal is to support the 2 current ARM archs that Fedora currently is built for and trying a few other new things to make the components used to be more similar to what is upstream. This is possibly a more experimental approach than you are using. Part of my plan is to set up my own ARM based Koji system. I have enough ARM devices to do this but need to order one more to make it more viable. Maybe we can compare notes in October...at the OLPC-SF 2012 Community Summit. regards, Robert H rihowa...@gmail.com linux - the best things in life are free
