It does build on more architectures than i686. x86_64 & ia64 both build and are
supported (ppc too, although it may require a little porting work). Just not
from the current iteration of the packaging.
My thinking was that I wanted to get i686 working in an acceptable manor first
of all and then worry about the other platforms. The x86_64 build, has 32bit
runtime components to it which present another level of complexity for
packaging. 

As this is my first attempt at packaging a product from source, I was expecting
it to be very much an iterative process. I'm more than prepared to do the work
necessary to get it included with Fedora.

As well as aspiring to be the packager for Ingres on Fedora, I'm also an
upstream contributor. I've worked for the company for many years and one of my
roles is the Linux build and packaging monkey. Whilst my primary goal is to get
Ingres included in Fedora, I would also like to become more generally involved
with the Fedora project.

Ingres is a mature, sophisticated and widely used product with substantial
engineering resources behind it and I think its inclusion would benefit both
the Ingres and Fedora communities.
