The Seneca CDOT OSTEP project has been operating a Koji buildsystem for the Fedora ARM Secondary Architecture project, for the armv5tel and armv7hl architectures. These architectures are going to shift to the Fedora Phoenix datacentre Real Soon Now(tm) now that true enterprise-grade ARM server hardware is available.The armv5tel architecture has hit EOL with Fedora 18, but will be supported with updates until a month after the release of Fedora 20; we (the Fedora ARM group) is working towards Primary Architecture status for armv7hl by the Fedora 20 release.
We (Seneca OSTEP) are now also operating a second Koji buildsystem, for the armv6hl architecture. This architecture is really of interest only for the Raspberry Pi at this point in time. This buildsystem is accessible on the web at http://japan.proximity.on.ca/koji/
However, to access the armv6hl buildsystem using the Koji command-line tools, using a Fedora client certificate, a bit of a dance is required. This post outlines the steps...
1. Set up your Fedora packager environment, if you haven't already done so.
2. Add this text to the end of your ~/.fedora-server-ca.cert file:

3. Place this text in /etc/koji/armv6-config:
[koji]
;configuration for koji cli tool
;url of XMLRPC server
server = http://japan.proximity.on.ca/kojihub
;url of web interface
weburl = http://japan.proximity.on.ca/koji
;url of package download site
topurl = http://japan.proximity.on.ca/
;configuration for SSL athentication
;client certificate
cert = ~/.fedora.cert
;certificate of the CA that issued the client certificate
ca = ~/.fedora-upload-ca.cert
;certificate of the CA that issued the HTTP server certificate
serverca = ~/.fedora-server-ca.cert
4. Execute this command: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/arm-koji /usr/local/bin/armv6-koji
5. Ping someone on the OSTEP team via irc://irc.freenode.net/seneca to add your FAS2 username to the Koji instance.
6. Profit! -- You should now be able to issue commands to the armv6hl koji system by typing: armv6-koji command
In due course, we'll get this configured as a standard secondary-arch Koji instance, and you can skip the steps above -- but in the meantime, if you want to help with the armv6hl effort, those are the steps required.
