Great! :-)

You can directly use Fedora-ARM koji with your Fedora credentials. You just have to instruct koji to use the arm koji hub.
 
Currently from an f11 bootstrap perspective, we have been building packages within the dist-f11-build-bs tag. This will soon be merged back into the dist-f11 tag.  

You can build packages within dist-f11-build-bs as of now. It should have a decent enough set of -devel packages. 

Currently there are three types of issues we are dealing with as we attempt to build more packages:
* Bootstrapping new pkgs from scratch, on Fedora-ARM
* Build Failures of newer versions
* Dependency Failures (cyclical etc.)

It seems we haven't yet attempted to build quite a few of the packages that you own/maintain on Fedora. Feel free to schedule builds on the arm koji hub for any of these, or other packages that interest you (Please build these for f11 as of now. For f12, the glibc-2.10 is yet to be bootstrapped).

Yes, it's known, it'll be fixed soon, before the Fedora-ARM 11 announcement.

Cool, lets put it in a wiki page under the Fedora-ARM page, which hosts instructions for setting up various boards.
