Support for ARM architecture

Resolved

I tried some searches on "arm", but only found one reference of attempting a port to arm by Sergei Pupykin back in May in the "Clearsync repository missing build tags" thread.

The Centos ARM SIG has made great strides in the ARM images:

https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/armhfp (for armv7)
https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/AArch64 (for armv8 64 bit)

I have my own howto at:

http://www.htt-consult.com/Centos7-armv7.html

and I really need to update:

http://www.htt-consult.com/Centos7-mailserver.html
as it should be easier now than a year ago....

It would be really great to at least have the basic server functions on arm boards for small home office use.

If this has come up elsewhere, please point me to the discussion.

thanks

    I have Cubieboard2 and Cubietruck that I can easily test on. If you can build on the Centos7 image, and add to it via a specific repo we can easily jumpstart the work. Using the Gnome image would give a nice remote desktop. I have finally figured out vncserver as I explain on my web page.

    Cubies are nice because how easy the image install to sata is. I just dd to the sata via usb, then use gparted to adjust partitions as I want.

    Noarch rpms are really nice. Unless they have dependencies in EPEL that have compiled. I was burnt with that trying to get Xfce desktop going.

    I have some time next week. Then the Jewish Holidays start and I am very stressed until into the 1st week of Oct.

    So please keep me in the loop. Meanwhile I have a Zotac Zbox nano...

    I believe there is a group working on MIPS but I'll see what the ARM situation is.
