Hi,
some of you guys where at FOSDEM and some have made talks (Alexander, Andrew, maybe more?). Yup :).
My slides are here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8976842/openSUSE%20on%20ARM.pdf
Thanks.
I gave a rough overview on the status of openSUSE on ARM and where we're going next. We had about 1/3rd of the amount of people in the room that the Debian ARM talk had, which is already more than I expected :).
I was trying to make people eager to participate. Not sure if that worked out.
You tried, this is what is important! ;)
It would be nice to have some feedbacks, especially from an ARM point of view. ;) The lima talk and then AArch64 Java talk were both in parallel to my talk, so I couldn't go. I also missed out on Andrew's ARMv7 talk, since Jon Master was giving an AArch64 presentation in parallel. However, I managed to get to see a few others:
AArch64 Fedora:
They are bootstrapping. Things are progressing, albeit slowly. I was honestly disappointed to see how far they got. Not too impressive really :).
They want to get themselves to a working bootstrapped system more easily by conditionally excluding dependencies. For the bootstrap, you don't really need to run texlive or javadoc to create documentation :). So they add special conditionals to their spec files to not create documentation for example and turn that on during their bootstrap.
ARMv8 discussion:
The only real takeaway from this one was that eglibc 1.17 was broken :). But maybe my memory is just failing on me. Andrew might remember more.
Debian AArch64:
Debian is trying to solve the bootstrapping mess once and for all. They have developed some algorithms to find a minimum set of packages required to build the rest. Based on this they can also play with scenarios like "what if I magically created this one package and just inject it?".
The key however is to make all these base packages be cross-compile ready. That way Debian can simply bootstrap itself automatically. Once by building cross, then by building natively.
Thanks Alex for this feedback. Seems some (ARM related) videos were added on: http://video.fosdem.org/2013/ Guillaume -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
