Rewording this to make more sense, what I mean is:
1). Establish correctly named mirrors in Seneca of the arm and armhfp
form, in which the exact same packages are present in both. Initially
form this simply by removing packages not in both v5 and v7 now. That
ought to be fairly simply (DJ's script output can help there).
2). With all of those packages possibly available, start by building
only a buildroot and its deps. If that works, it's a great achievement.
I would ideally like us to reach this point before US Thanksgiving takes
a bunch of us offline this time next week. I think it's doable.
3). With a minimal buildroot (a subset of stage3, which was to get mock
working but wound up also making a bootable system - though stage3 is
fine too for simplicity as a set to built initially) set of packages
built, set that up as a new repo and have it favored in preference to
the external one for building the rest. Then a mass rebuild of packages
present in v5 and v7 from the external repos can begin.
