Introduction
These group of students mentioned at the top, right below "participants" are students with little knowledge of the fedora community. Being introduce to a vast growing community created room for improvement and friendships. It was indeed a huge improvement on how we tackled those packages we built and without the fedora community, we've pretty much would have been clueless throughout the semester.
At first we were just breaking in and had no clue where to start, but as things started to move and had our Build Master guide us toward the right direction we began building. Of course we needed to learn how to build in order to this project, so we all took the time to learn efficient methods in doing this project. As we got use to itimported what we learned into building, we began building our very first package. Being our first build, of course we had errors and errors that we have not encountered before as well, but was pretty self explanatory. Once we've figured out what things we had to fix for that package we ran it through once again and thus having an outcome of "SUCCESS" bold in green. From there on we begun tackling other packages within the fedora 13 update package list that needed to be built for the first ARM architecture. If we had issues with one specific package we told one another that we wouldn't dwell on it for long and move to another one, but of course we would have to come back to that package that we couldn't build for ARM. If the errors we encountered for that package was not within our knowledge to fix, we would either research what causes this online or ask the fedora community. As it turns out we've got a long way to go in finishing up this fedora 13 update packages for ARM, but again, it's a process that needs a lot of patience and understanding why this specific packagewill/or will not build for ARM.
