• The packaging effort can be followed here : https://build.pub.meego.com/project/subprojects?project=Project:Cordia
• The packaging of dependencies are mostly reused from Fedora, but while tryin to reduce uneccessary extra dependancies specially documentation.

If you need documentation use a full distribution like fedora.

• kickstart files for x86 :
