[fedora-arm] Fedora Remix for Raspberry-Pi with mainline kernel and U-Boot available

[Chris Tyler]

Well, Pidora is a bit of an unusual case, because "Pidora" itself is a Red Hat trademark, which we use by permission.

In any case, we've been looking forward to the day that a mainline kernel would work! This is great news, and thanks for your pioneering work, Lubo.

Well, Pidora itself contains only rebuilds too and advertises itself as
"Fedora Remix" [1]. It's not clear from the Remix page [2] whether it
refers to source or binary packages. I've assumed it's the source, since
Pidora already does this and it makes a lot more sense to me anyway.
What makes you believe otherwise?

Thank you,
