Topics: * Status * openSUSE for HPPA * Server Status
New people: =========== - Berthold Gunreben (bg) joined the Build Team. He will take care about product development after learning the stuff. Welcome Berthold !
- Andreas Jaeger joined the meeting, because he took over product manager responsibilities for the openSUSE Build Service.
Status: =======
adrian: * very first source service was working and automatically building a package. Working on getting stuff clean enough to deploy it on opensuse.org instance.
abauer: * Working on attribute system and on external web site connection interface.
HPPA Builds ===========
Berthold develops HPPA openSUSE distro as hobby project. He will try build it in an own build service instance to learn the OBS code. We may publish later a HPPA openSUSE snapshot and look how much interesst is there in it.
Server Status: ==============
The three strong build hosts are still broken unfortunatly. openSUSE:Factory can get build anyway in time due to new dispatcher extensions (good/bad host implementation).

Adrian,
Didn't the HPPA architecture end of life recently. I realize HP will still sell parts, etc. but I don't think you can buy a new machine as of a few months ago.
Doesn't seem like a logical choice to actually release for opensuse.
I guess the used market will be strong for a while longer.

As written this is a pure private hobby project. We as openSUSE or Novell don't invest there really anything.
But adding a new architecture is a very good learning point for someone who wants to dig into build service.
But yes it is quite unlikely that there will be ever a official openSUSE HPPA release, except some community comes together and is pushing it.
btw, I learned also a lot when creating a SUSE 8.1 for mips internally only ;)
