I believe that yup is just a bunch of python scripts, so installation on any
machine that has python installed shouldn't be an issue. The real gotcha is
that a distribution needs to support the layout that yup expects. There may
be one for x86 based on rpm, but I am not familiar with it. I think by its
nature, it is supposed to be architecture neutral.
