I’ve built 700 of 2523 source packages so 27% complete with this first pass.

first CentOS 7 ppc64le VMs and rebuild c7.01.02-ppc64le atop CentOS 7
instead of Fedora 21.

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.

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.

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.

In the meantime, I’ll circle back and help get CentOS 7 ppc64/ppc caught up
to the same point as ppc64le.

Thanks
