Alpha team status update:

   We <alpha> setted up a koji enviroment and struggle to come  in sync with
latest F8 packages.

   http://buildsys.zero42.at/koji/index is the HUB.

   However we work on extend to other builders for more CPU cycles, but right 
now we have 2 online ones.

   Actualy we work on feed from fp.o koji succesfull builds in our koji, and fix eventual
alpha related issues as much as possible on the fly, Oliver Falk is working on this.
   Olso we have some blacklisted packages like kernel/glibc since we havent got chance
to merge .spec files adjustments and alpha specific patches into fedora ones.


   We are looking forward for any help/guidance regarding merger, we olso discuss a bit
with Dennis Gilmore over IRC, he updated us with the idea of fetch back/forth packages 
between fp.o <--> alpha.o but this need to have some fp.o side support wich is quite
not ready yet.
