Currently no, I'm cross-compiling directly from git. I've already
discussed coordinating my work with Fu Wei and part of the plan
is for him to eventually turn my work into a proper rpm.

I'm currently contributing to, and basing my work on
the sunxi-3.4 branch of:
https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi

The only 'trick' would be getting the U-Boot configuration set up correctly. I could help set up the kickstart file, if you provide the U-Boot configuration information, and would like to pursue that.

I agree kickstart is the way to go in the semi-long run. For now
I just want to get something out there, without just dropping an
img file no-one can reproduce. Having something out there will
also make discussing this easier, as then you will see that
the A10 is special in some respects ...
