== Fedora Architectures ==
[http://fedoraproject.org Fedora] is an [http://opensource.org open source] community that produces the [http://get.fedoraproject.org Fedora Linux distribution] -- a complete operating system (and more) consisting of thousands of software packages. This software is available free of charge <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.andrewflusche.com/services/stafford-dui-lawyer/<span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;">Stafford DUI lawyer</span>] complete with the source code, so anyone can use, distribute, and modify it to meet their needs.
The Fedora distribution supports two primary architectures; these are the primary targets for the packages in Fedora:
== ARM Processors ==
ARM chips are the most popular CPU produced -- in excess of 5 7 billion are being made each year, or about a million an hour. These are being sold under a number of different brand <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.thepiggybackrider.com/ <span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;/*CITATION*/">child carrier</span>]</span> <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.thepiggybackrider.com/ <span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;/*CITATION*/">child carrier</span>]</span> names (ARM, StrongARM, Armada, Cortex, OMAP, Sheeva, Snapdragon, XScale) by a number of different manufacturers. Most of these are going into cellphones, but hundreds of millions are being used in other devices such as routers, NAS boxes, embedded controllers, tablets, and netbooks.
== Objective ==
Seneca is supporting the Fedora ARM initiative by hosting and managing a [[:fedora:Koji|Koji]] build farm that shadows the primary architectures, so that every package built for the primary architectures (including updates) is to be built for ARM.
The [[Fedora ARM Koji Buildsystem]] is accessible through a [http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org web interface] and through the koji command-line tools provided as part of Fedora. Anyone with a Fedora account is welcome to build packages on it; if you do not already have an account wish to make use of the build system you can sign up using the [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/ Fedora Account System (fas2)].
