Providing the Moblin user experience on top of a standard openSUSE base is something we are interested in doing, but it's not something that will feasibly happen very soon. We are locking down to freeze on an openSUSE/SLE-based Moblin 2.0.
We have a few repositories, that build on openSUSE 11.1 or SLE 11:
* Moblin:Base - provides modified/updated kernel, xorg, HAL, etc. - much of what is here can be ignored for a Moblin user experience on a stock openSUSE (e.g. like we have GNOME and KDE desktops, we could have a Moblin one).
However, these packages are critical for providing the entire Moblin OS, and many patches would also need to be merged into openSUSE:Factory (e.g. we require KMS + DRI2). Much of this requirement is satisfied by xorg 1.6.3.
This should be working all in 11.2 by the time it releases, as 11.2 will have a newer kernel than what we currently have in M:B. I'll be testing the 11.2 kernels to make sure they work with the Moblin userspace. The only bad thing will be that a lot of the fast-boot stuff we have done in the Moblin kernel, will not be in 11.2, due to the wider range of hardware we have to support there. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-goblin+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-goblin+help@opensuse.org
