Fedora/RISC-V now mirrored as a Fedora “alternative” architecture

https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/risc-v/repo/fedora/29/latest/. These packages now get mirrored further by the Fedora mirror system, eg. to https://mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/alt/risc-v/repo/fedora/29/latest/

If you grab the latest nightly Fedora builds you can get the mirrors by editing the /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo file.

Also we got some additional help so we now have loads more build hosts! These were provided by Facebook with hosting by Oregon State University Open Source Lab (see cfarm), so thanks to them.

Thanks to David Abdurachmanov and Laurent Guerby for doing all the work (I did nothing).

Run Fedora RISC-V with X11 GUI in your browser

Without the GUI is a bit faster: https://bellard.org/jslinux/vm.html?cpu=riscv64&url=https://bellard.org/jslinux/fedora29-riscv-2.cfg&mem=256

Fedora/RISC-V nightly builds

Thanks to David Abdurachmanov for doing the hard work of making Fedora/RISC-V nightly Fedora 29 builds available. To learn how you can boot and play with these in qemu on x86, see this page.
