Primary architectures are instrumental in the design and development of any fedora release. During the development of a fedora release if any of the primary architecture builds fail, the packages cannot be released. Fedora package maintainers are required to make sure that their package builds properly for this architecture. Users of any linux distrbutions use one of these primary architectures.
Secondary architectures are architectures where the hardware for the secondaries are maintained by the people producing the builds for those secondary architectures. Build failures on secondary architectures are not fatal, unlike builds in the primary architectures, the failure repairs on the secondary architectures are often released several months after the primary ones.

= Our Objective =
The plan was to set up a Koji builder on a system of eight virtual ARM machines that is based on the CDOT system HongKong. The ARM builders are using ''QEMU emulation'', -- a processor emulator -- which will be replaced by ARM Hardware when it arrives. The ARM Hardware that was purchased was an OpenRD platform. This platform is powered by the fastest ARM architecture available. The platform allows us to create and complete our designs.
The HongKong system also housed a PosegreSQL database and the Koji hub, Koji Web and Kojira. Other components like Apache and Mock also had to be installed on the system.
