Berthold develops HPPA openSUSE distro as hobby project. He will try build it in an own build service instance to learn the OBS code. We may publish later a HPPA openSUSE snapshot and look how much interesst is there in it.
Adrian,
Didn't the HPPA architecture end of life recently. I realize HP will still sell parts, etc. but I don't think you can buy a new machine as of a few months ago.
Doesn't seem like a logical choice to actually release for opensuse.
I guess the used market will be strong for a while longer.
As written this is a pure private hobby project. We as openSUSE or Novell don't invest there really anything. But adding a new architecture is a very good learning point for someone who wants to dig into build service. But yes it is quite unlikely that there will be ever a official openSUSE HPPA release, except some community comes together and is pushing it. btw, I learned also a lot when creating a SUSE 8.1 for mips internally only ;) bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
