openSUSE on AArch64
I would like to reword this to ARM 64bit (AArch64)
openSUSE is joining the crowd of 64 bit enabled ARM distributions. Within the past few months, the openSUSE team has worked very hard to get openSUSE up and rolling on ARM's new 64 bit capable architecture.
and mention something that we have ARM (32bit) openSUSE already enabled and ready for a while.
By now, about 2400 packages built successfully. This is more than one third of the whole distribution.
Only looking at it from the quantity perspective, this is already more than a third of the whole openSUSE distribution.
openSUSE on ARM 64bit (AArch64) For its 1 year anniversary of ARM support, openSUSE is joining the crowd of 64 bit enabled ARM distributions. Within the past few months, the openSUSE team has worked very hard to get openSUSE up and rolling on ARM's new 64 bit capable architecture and is eager to show first great results. By now, about 2400 packages built successfully. Only looking at it from the quantity perspective, this is already more than a third of the whole openSUSE distribution. From all we know it's also more successful package builds than any other Linux distribution has on AArch64! If you'd like to see the status yourself, please check out the OBS repository we created for this [0]. As an open distribution, we also worked really hard to enable contributors to easily participate in the effort. For this, we extended OBS to automatically spawn a Foundation Model [1] virtual machine when you want to build for aarch64. This works remotely on the OBS server (and will hit the 2.4 release) as well as locally using osc build. More information on this is available on the respective wiki page [2]. Also our upcoming Open Build Service release 2.4 will fully support aarch64 builds. Natively or using an emulator. This release can be used to build additional aarch64 packages or entire distributions at your side. Our next big milestone is going to he a working JeOS image - complete with YaST, openssh and everything you need for a simple and small system. We will create that using our standard image building tool kiwi and provide a ready-made image for the Foundation Model. Stay tuned! If all of the above got you curious and / or you would like to participate in this awesome effort, please join us on the openSUSE-ARM mailing list [3]. There is a lot of fun work to do and and you like open open source work, you are guaranteed to feel right at home.
