Unfortunately armv6hl is in a pretty bad state because it is still built in qemu emulation, and noone maintains that emulation layer. [..] Over the long run we need to find a different solution though (which could be dropping it alltogether, in the worst case). For now I take it as a positive sign that someone does actually care about it being available :-)

Hmm, I have several rpi1 boards and it would be nice if they do not turn into Elektroschrott. The video output does not work but I use them headless anyway.

Until two weeks ago zypper dup worked but currently the update is stuck with this message:

Problem: libzypp-16.9.0-1.1.armv6hl requires libsolv-tools = 0.6.27, but this requirement cannot be provided deleted providers: libsolv-tools-0.6.27-2.1.armv6hl Solution 1: Following actions will be done: deinstallation of libzypp-16.9.0-1.1.armv6hl deinstallation of zypper-1.13.25-1.1.armv6hl Solution 2: keep obsolete libsolv-tools-0.6.27-2.1.armv6hl Solution 3: break libzypp-16.9.0-1.1.armv6hl by ignoring some of its dependencies

I'd like to register myself as a RaspPi+armv6hl user who cares about the repo being available :-) and mention that I am also seeing similar sorts of issues:

Choose from above solutions by number or skip, retry or cancel [1/2/s/r/c] (c):

If I sit tight and wait, will this get fixed in some future maintenance?

Dirk and Andreas are currently working to fix up all builds. We're in the process to switch compilation over to native builds (previously it was all emulated with bitrotting emulation). As always, helping hands are always welcome. If you see build failures for armv6 here: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Factory:ARM and you have the time to google for failures and create OBS submitrequests to fix them, that would be great and helps to keep the target alive :).
