Introduction
We came in storming like it was 1942 all over again. As my fellow Canadian patriot's would say "EHH?!". A group of students undergo a school semester of building packages that were fedora 13 package updates. Not know what we were getting into we sure had excitement and determination in our eyes to get this project finished. Little did we know was that, we still haven't fully understood how the process of troubleshooting and building packages was or how big the arm package build farm was. It was indeed a project filled with doubts, hope and fulfillment.
These group of students mentioned at the top, right below "participants" are students with that have little knowledge of how helpful the fedora communityis. 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. As we imported 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 "Closed" bold in green - meaning it was completed for that arch.
