This was more a question of whether the CentOS 5.0 build would just be
skipped in place of a 5.1 build since there has not yet been a CentOS
5.0 build for IA64 released yet. So with that said "All Arch releases
follow the same update / rebuild cycle" isn't really all that accurate. :)
Anyway, once we get the release out - the updates on IA64 will track
i386/x86_64 very closely ( prolly in sync ). This does depend on
hardware availability. At the moment we have 2 cores churning out the
_entire_ IA64 stuff. And we dont really have failover capability. So if
someone has IA64 h/w around that they want to donate, it would be much
welcome.
Trust me, if my SGI Altix machines weren't being used right now to do
real work I would happily allow you to build on them. I'm sure that 96
processors and 96GB of memory could be of some use. If there is a way
that they could be I would be happy to schedule my own time on them to
help out.
err ? There will be a 5.1 IA64 release within 2 to 3 weeks of
i686/x86_64 going out to the mirrors. We have IA64 availability within
the buildsystem and tracking buildqueues.
I am saying 2 to 3 weeks, just so we get the bandwidth to test this
thing a bit.
No problems, and if I can help out in any way please don't hesitate to
contact me off list.
