Thanks to RedHat who accept patches for Alpha.
Hm. They do? Great. However. When core is opened for everyone, I hope
that AC folks will join the community and get (write) access to glibc,
xorg, ... If all alpha-specific things get %ifarch-ed, it shouldn't
interfere with anything.
To have all alpha specific patches in the fedora repository would be
great. Maybe RH/FI (Fedora Infrastructure) is able to add
alpha-builders to their infrastructure!? That's why I added them CC: :-)
At least from plague I know it's possible to add passive builders to
the list. This means *we* (people who own (spare) alpha machines)) can
install machines with plague or whatever it will be named then,
available to the FI team for building.
I also guess it will not be too hard to add the idea of passive
builders to the new koji (if it hasn't been coded yet). And well. If
something doesn't build on alpha, it - of course - shouldn't break the
'normal' cycle (i386, x86_64, ppc(?))...
For me questionable points are: Do we also want extras? Or only core?
Will Red Hat support this idea? Will Fedora Board/Fedora
Infrastructure support this idea?
Who votes? Maybe Fedora Board?

We've been discussing secondary arches for a while. We've finally made
a decision to help host it but we don't have the facilities to host
builders (yet). Truth be told I don't think we can even host the
secondary arches yet. Their estimates are for 150-200G per arch over
the next 6 months and unfortunately we just don't have that kind of
storage available. With 3 arch's, alpha, sparc and ia64 thats
450G-600G. Something is on the table though and we hope to have
secondary archs soon.
