Thanks for the scripts, will give them a go. One quick question however, do we really need the debug packages from the F9 release as it says in the README?

It is to a usable state but I plan on continuing to work on them. I am using this as an educational project to learn python (which I have been needing to do for quite some time) so based on that alone I can justify spending more time on this. The scripts try to build packages in parallel as much as possible. I am working on a new script to determine the build order which I think will work better than what I was using but that is not ready yet. The scripts also try to be intelligent and not rebuild packages that have not changed since the previous release. I have been testing this on an HP rx6600. Starting with F9 it looks like it will finish building F10-alpha in ~48hours (it is 75% complete as I type this and it has been running for about 36 hours). I think I can get that time down considerably with a smarter buildorder script. No tool or set of instructions can be considered complete until someone other than the author tries it. I would very much appreciate if someone could give this a try, or at least look at the README file and see that it makes sense. thanks, - Doug -- Fedora-ia64-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Fedora-ia64-list@redhat.com">Fedora-ia64-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ia64-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ia64-list</a> </blockquote></div>
