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 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.
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.
