The survey we did before enabling armv7 for Leap, showed interest from openSUSE community for armv7 boards. That’s why we made the effort to continue armv7 support for Leap. If the interest is much lower today, we could revisit this. The other possibility is that people just flash a new image and do not update it via zypper. Guillaume From: Matwey V.

Hi,
I am trying to migrate my 15.2 armv7l installations to 15.3, and I cannot figure out if it is anyhow usable. It seems that updates are not published (existed?) for 15.3 armv7l architecture. To check this I've downloaded openSUSE-Leap-15.3-ARM-JeOS- efi.armv7l-2021.05.31-Build8.31.raw image and started it in qemu/kvm. The following repositories are preconfigured:
# zypper lr -d # | Alias | Name | Enabled | GPG Check | Refresh | Priority | Type | URI | Service --+-------------------+---------------------------+---------+-----------+---------+----------+----- ---+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------- 1 | repo-debug | Debug Repository | No | ---- | ---- | 99 | NONE | http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv7hl/debug/distribution/leap/15.3/repo... ss/ | 2 | repo-debug-update | Update Repository (Debug) | No | ---- | ---- | 99 | NONE | | http://download.opensuse.org/ports/debug/update/leap/15.3/oss/ | 3 | repo-oss | Main Repository | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv7hl/distribution/leap/15.3/repo | /oss/ | 4 | repo-source | Source Repository | No | ---- | ---- | 99 | NONE | http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv7hl/source/distribution/leap/15.3/rep... ss/ | 5 | repo-update | Main Update Repository | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/ports/update/leap/15.3/oss/
There is no update repo for armv7 because updates come from SLE and there is no armv7 support on SLE side. OBS project for armv7 Leap is not frozen, so I would have expected updates delivered from there, but openQA was disabled for armv7, so nothing moved it seems. This need to be fixed. Dirk, any advise? Guillaume
However, https://download.opensuse.org/ports/update/leap/15.3/oss/ doesn't contains any armv7l packages. As far as I learned there should exist Step repositories but I've failed to find ones.
