==Introduction==
The goal was to create machines/builders to that work with the Koji Hub koji-hub to build and test rpm packages on the ARM (armv5tel) architecture.Fedora Project doesn't have the resources to maintain the ARM architecture for all its packages and with the increase of actual ARM systems being used, the need of builders have too increased. Kojid is the build daemon that runs on the build machines. It's primary responsibility is polling for incoming build requests and handling them accordingly. Kojid is written in Python and communicates with koji-hub via XML-RPC.  
==Description==
Setting up the builders isn't hard once the hub has been properly configured and certifications have been correctly created. We used one actual ARM machine and nine virtual machines to familiarize the steps involved in getting builders to work with a Koji Hub. The final goal is to make an Koji farm dedicated to building ARM packages for Fedora since the architecure architecture is getting more and more popular everyday. Creating this farm will help with the Fedora Project Community development.
