At which point we can create the first CentOS 7 ppc64le VMs and rebuild c7.01.02-ppc64le atop CentOS 7 instead of Fedora 21.<br>

> The latest CentOS 7 ppc64le tally is 1983 of 2523 source packages building or 78% complete. Hit a small snag with the atlas package not building that I didn’t run into before. Thinking it may be due to the single core on the Fedora 21 builder VM. Once atlas builds, the rest the source packages should fall into line in short order. java-1.7.0-openjdk is built as are most of the apache/jpackage/maven stack.<br>

</span>The atlas pthread build issue was resolved by adding multiple cores to the Fedora 21 builder VM. The Centos 7 ppc64le phase1 build is 97+% complete. I have built 2460 source packages, over 6400 binary rpms and there shouldn’t be any more circular dependencies to unwind. We are ready to create the first pass CentOS 7 LE builder VMs. There are at least 57 source packages in the 2523 source package list that are exclusive to Intel arches.<br>
<br>
If someone on the centos build team would find me on irc or email, we could discuss lorax version and configuration to build CentOS 7 ppc64le builders and tying my c7.01.01-ppc64le repository into a more structured build process to generate a c7.01.02-ppc64le repository.<br>
<br>
In the meantime, I’ll circle back and help get CentOS 7 ppc64/ppc caught up to the same point as ppc64le.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
