= Goals =
= Specific Objectives =
== Fedora ARM Koji Farm ==
* Evaluate and select hardware options for a Koji farm for the Fedora ARM Secondary Architecture
** Current candidate: 15-20 GuruPlug Server systems, with one quad-core PC for storage and Koji Hub/Koji Web
* Set up the Koji build farm in collaboration with the Fedora ARM community
=== Factors to Consider ===
* Network layout
** Koji-Hub, Koji-Server, and resulting software repository must be accessible both inside and outside Seneca
** ARM builders must be able to communicate with the Koji-Hub
** ARM builders must be able to communicate with shared file storage
** ARM builders must have local storage ''or'' a SAN (e.g., iSCSI) ''or'' shared, high-performance file storage
=== Current Candidate Configuration ===
* 15-20 GuruPlug Servers
* iSCSI SAN for storage
* Quad-core
== Koji-Shadow ==
* Configure Koji-Shadow so that packages built for the Fedora primary architectures are also built for Fedora ARM
* Sync up with F13 and Rawhide builds
== Package Set Maintenance ==
* Update packages as necessary with ExcludeArch tags where those packages are not suitable or cannot be built on ARM architecture
== Bugzilla ==
* Get the bugzilla admins to rationalize the ARM processor options in the platform list (right now there are a number of ARM options, none of which accurately reflect the ARM build: arm7, arm9, xscale, strongarm).
* Actively monitor bugzilla for platform-related problems
== Testing ==
* Acquire a number of ARM hardware devices and test the ARM build on those devices:
** SheevaPlug
** OpenRD-Client
** GuruPlug
** Beagleboard
** Hawkboard
** TouchBook
** OLPC XO 1.75
== Optimization ==
* Optimize the Fedora ARM Build
*# Identify optimization opportunities
*# Create and test optimized builds
*# Make decisions on which optimizations should be default
*# Create additional subarchs are appropriate (e.g., armv5, armv7 or with/without FPU)
== Compose ==
* Create root filesystems
* Write tools to load popular products (e.g., tool that would be run on a PC to connect to a SheevaPlug and load NAND)
