Description Perry Myers 2010-12-15 21:42:48 UTC
Description of problem:
Matahari will initially be introduced into RHEL with just support for x86_64 and x86.  Need to expand this to include PPC and zSeries so that the agent infrastructure will work across all supported RHEL platforms.

Comment 2 Perry Myers 2010-12-15 21:43:43 UTC
This bug is filed against distribution component until bz component for matahari
is created.

Comment 4 Perry Myers 2011-08-08 19:15:42 UTC
The dependent bug for getting qpid/qmf packages built in brew for these secondary arches is still in NEW state and we're a week from devel freeze.  That doesn't leave us any time to complete the matahari side of this before devel freeze, so this has to be punted to RHEL 6.3 due to unresolved dependencies.

Comment 5 Russell Bryant 2011-10-07 20:47:10 UTC
Builds across all arches works now.  Should we pull this back to 6.2?
