Can you scratch build it to test on PPC "ppc-koji build --scratch f24 blah.src.rpm" and get something pushed, this is blocking a large part of the mass rebuild on PPC. thanks

Not sure if the issue above is fixed but it breaks the build across all arches so in and of itself the issue of getting a build isn't fixed

Could we embed those patches in fedora DB ?
Comment 18 Jan Synacek 2016-02-15 09:16:06 UTC 
Sorry, I didn't realize the original message actually contained another build with the patches... It was apparent from the build log.
