Using non-upstream kernels will definitely not get us anywhere close to an openSUSE 12.2 with official ARM support. At least not for more than the 1 or 2 devices that actually work there.
I wonder how the roadmap will look like? I think that we won't have a fully working/stable 12.2 release. But I think we should freeze openSUSE:Factory:ARM as openSUSE:12.2:Tumbleweed i.e. openSUSE:Tumbleweed. Because it's very difficult to fix all packages with the continuously breaking openSUSE:Factoy:ARM packages a package fixed soke time ago doesn't build currently anymore. This is worst when an or a lot of other packages depend on this package to build.
I think we should fork off when 12.2 forks off as well and try to hammer out a working 12.2 release that runs on at least a few platforms. We should still keep the Factory tree alive and our main focus to develop stuff on, but we would have something we can hand to people without being afraid that it breaks any minute (or takes another week to rebuild).
We would build the arm distro in openSUSE:12.2 project together with i586 and x86_64. So it would get the maintenance together with them also. However, we will only achieve it when Factory:ARM is working goog enough and has no differences anymore. -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
