There is something to be said for target emulation or run-parts-of-the-build-on-hardware solutions, but I think the best answer is one where any available host can compile Fedora for any target.
Isn't that exactly what we'd get with target emulation? Any available host that can run an emulator could then build all of fedora Fedora for ARM or PowerPC or whatever. Supporting cross-compiling would be great, but having spent a several weeks fighting with Python and its libraries last year and losing, I suspect scouring the other nine zillion Fedora packages for cross-correctness is no small exercise, not to mention battling new bugs as they crop up. Of course supporting an emulator is not trivial either, but Qemu already works for ARM and is only somewhat broken for PowerPC. That said, there is certainly room for both approaches, and getting even a small number of packages to cross-compile might be enough for many embedded applications. --Ed -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
