The F-20 remix is not mine, I did the F18 and F19 remixes, since F20 I've
been focussing on upstream. The remixes all use a
linux-sunxi.org 3.4
kernel, which is derived from the android kernel sources for
allwinner boards. The
linux-sunxi.org kernels are still being
maintained by the linux-sunxi community, so it shouldn't be hard
for someone to do a remix using the 3.4 kernel for F-21.
My understanding with remixes is that I cannot replace the kernel. This
makes doing a 'yum update' next to impossible. I tried
'--exclude=kern*' but that left all sorts of dependecies hanging.
Thus this early into F21, it would seem that whoever took on the remix
would have a big job to stay on top of the continual changes.
