Linaro Fedora

Fedora ARMv7 Engineering Build bring up

Registered by Fathi Boudra

Fedora Engineering baseline has been triggered by the need of the Linaro Enterprise Group to pre-integrate, test and validate Linaro's own engineering developments in a software environment as close as possible to the commercial distribution requested by their members: both Fedora and Ubuntu.

The intention is to provide basic specification for a 32-bit Fedora build that can be built and maintained using Linaro infrastructure.

[fboudra, 2013-02-20] Add relevant links. F18 images are built using lorax, based on an ARM kickstart file. The tool requires to run on an ARM Fedora 18 build slave.
[fboudra, 2013-03-29] Bump to 13.04. Because of the Fedora tools requirements, discussion are on-going to build it in LAVA. Senthil and Paul are now involved for the LAVA side.
[fboudra, 2013-04-26] Bump to 13.05.
[stylesen, 2013-05-29] lava-test-shell based test definition for building fedora images in arndale boards is available here - https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=qa/test-definitions.git;a=blob;f=fedora/build.yaml A sample job file to run this test definition is here - http://people.linaro.org/~senthil.kumaran/fedora-staging-git.json
