Which ones aren't > expected to build? I do not have a list but as far as I understand the whole ARM infrastructure is not yet completed and not all packages have been tried to be build. There are packages that have e.g. circular dependencies and therefore do not build currently and need some manual intervention. Also for packages that have missing dependencies in ARM it is expected that they do not build currently, but they might once the dependencies are in the ARM repo. There is not much a packager can do about, therefore a bug report does not help to track anything. > > Tracking patches in Bugzilla that fix > > build failures is a good idea, though.

I meant the time when Fedora-ARM provides a stable release or is ready to provide one including the infrastructure to provide updates and all packages that build are in sync with the primary archs or in other words: the only missing thing is to get all packages from the primary archs to build on Fedora-ARM.
