I run Aurora and Fedora on E250 since several years and it works. It is a typical server with mailman and some WWWs. Currently I have Fedora 12 there and I hope to upgrade to F15 easily. I only worry about the updates. In fedora-secondary the most recent releases/12 and development/12 package is from 2010-05-07, updates/12 - from 2010-09-12. The mainline F12 does not have updates since December anyway so I have to upgrade to next available version - F15. I wonder if I could help a little in porting updates when F15 is finally released. I have quite limited amount of time I can use for this server so running my own koji (or how it is called) and trying to find which updates are already in the official secondary repository and which are not would drain my time resources quickly. I would prefer just working on some specific packages and possibly sharing them with others. Is it possible with the current Fedora/Sparc infrastructure to allow an alien developer to pick up sometimes some waiting packages polishing work?
