So, from the top of my head:
1. am I correct that OBS is already able to build for ARM but it is slow due to cross compilation being needed?
2. What is possible to speed that up - e.g. how do the Meego folks do this?
Using real hardware.
Not needed with the OBS solution. The complete MeeGo or openSUSE ARM port never saw any real HW before its first boot. That was after the first build.
It may not be needed, but speed what was asked for. And somtimes you happen to not have any working emulator at hand.. ;)
3. Weren't it an option to exclude "big" packages (e.g. OpenOffice stack) and just build those once in a while - e.g. for milestones?
4. What other problems do you see with creating openSUSE builds for ARM that I forgot to mention here?
Some packages do only compile cross because they need more RAM than 2 GB for building.
Interesting - which ones?
Some packages do not compile with cross compilation.
