[opensuse-arm] Raspberry Pi version 2
I imagine everyone is aware that a quad-core, ARMv7 version of the RPi is available. Does anybody know what is involved in using Opensuse on that device? I am hoping that I can use the normal ARMv7 repository for everything but the RPi specific packages. Should I branch those RPi packages and try building them for V7 or is someone already doing that?

Just make sure you don't take a picture of it... at least not one with a flash. ;) ________________________________________ Sean Rickerd Ingénieur Commercial/Sales Engineer SUSE 514.834.5778

I created a microsd card with the armv6l Build36.2 image, put it in an SDcard adapter and it boots perfectly on an armv6 RPi. On the armv7 version I also get the colorful screen. I am working on rebuilding the packages for armv7 (this takes me a long time to figure out) and then will build an image for v7. When I have that I will test it, let you know where it is so you can test it, and then push the fixes upstream.
