Hi Michael.
From your statement. that OpenSuse is no more interested to port OS for the AMRV6 boards such as Raspüberry Pi, as as OpenLinux since Version 4.1, I will now have to switch to the Debian Repos.
Michael made no such statement. What I had said was openSUSE's focus is on ARMv7 and above. There is nothing stopping people from helping get support for v6 up and running, just that it won't be done as part of the core port. I would love to see openSUSE on every device out there, but there are only a small number of people doing the work so the work needs to be prioritised.

Its a bit sad that a board that already has sold 1.5 million pieces is not fully supported.
My raspberry group here in Singapore is a lot bigger then my openSUSE group.. And I can not use OpenSUSE on my raspberries... :/
What really frustrates me
Feel free to join in and help get it all working if it frustrates you that much.
As we've explained several times, the Pi uses the old ARMv6 architecture and is almost the sole user nowadays (from a general compute perspective). openSUSE is looking forward, and when we re-started the ARM porting effort we made it crystal clear that our focus is on ARMv7 and above (including ARMv8).
Hmm, I'm quite sure that most people lurking on this list like me are interested in an openSUSE ARM port simply for getting it on the Raspberry Pi.
The better ARM-based boards are too expensive to compete with fan-less x86-compatible hardware.
Ciao, Michael.
