Do you have a kernel RPM for the A10 yet? I know Fu Wei was working on
packaging the 3.4 A10 kernel, but I'm not sure if you have discussed this
with him.

Have you considered adding support for the A10 boards (Gooseberry,
Cubieboard, etc.) to the uboot-tools package:
http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=98609
There is already support for several ARM boards (beagle, origen, panda,
etc.), so there are examples of how to add a new board. Then we can simply
install the right U-Boot when the image is created.
Not possible as the support for the A10 isn't upstream in uboot as yet
and it's still currently a fork. Like the kernel there are plans to do
it but it's not been done as yet.
