before we can consider building in koji we need a few things

1) armv5tel and armv7hl match in builods
2) rpm support for armv7hl is finalised
3) yum support for armv7hl is finalised
4) koji supports hardfp by seperating out the rpms into their own repo

koji support needs yum support and yum support needs rpm support

and we need to get started building things for armv5tel.

we can not really consider the stage3 rpms. they were build by hand, a few of 
with --nodeps to get around missing things.  

find /srv/pub/fedora-arm/stage4/ -name *armv7hl.rpm|wc -l
6546

still quite a number of rpms but there is many missing.  we should do a full 
run of things outside of koji,  the main reason being that koji only allows us 
to build a nvr once. so to do it all in koji we would need to edit a crap load 
of spec files. to get rebuilding of things done.
