My name is Sergio Fernandez , I am personally interested in helping with the development of the image and OpenSuSE repositories for Raspberry Pi , since I have a project for a specialized desktop computer based on these two components.
I have seen that there is only unofficial images for Raspberry Pi, by SuSE decisions. I've also seen that everything is a bit chaotic and therefore funny :) And I'd like to participate.
I have several years administering Linux systems , I´m familiar with SuSE enterprise systems, and packaged for RPM distributions such as Mandriva and Mageia (and of course RHEL). Don't know how SUSE buildsystem works, but come with the intention to learn.
I downloaded an image from Bernhard repository and I launched my Rpi. I've done some modifications and configurations and, works well . But I need more integration and stability and I want collaborate to do it for everyone.
So where I can start? What to read , where to search ...
The main reason we don't have an official Raspberry PI image today is that the build fails:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:ARM:13.1:Contrib:RaspberryPi
The build fails because the kernel we're using inside the build VM doesn't have proper FAT support. There are 2 things to do here:
btw, I added lately support to run distro kernel and initrd's. So such things can be added now in projects.
You may just try to aggregate the (x86_64) kernel package from
home:adrianSuSE kernel-obs-build
package and add the following line prjconf to use that kernel:
VMInstall: kernel-obs-build
Make sure to ExportFilter this also to your arm architecture repos.
shall I try to adapte this project to validate if it works?
We also need to force the codepage modules into the initrd so that it automatically loads them on boot (via -m). But yes, please :). Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
