What challenges as of yet did you run into?
We have already discussed the performance accelerator, because OBS with QEMU is quite slow (factor 4-8 slowdown ca. in average). We have already two solutions for this in the backhand.

Hi,
a short Discussion on the IRC channel inspired me to ask this question to all on the mailing list:
- Who knows what Download on Demand is inside OBS
- Who uses the Cross Development Feature for ARM architecture already
now (although OBS 1.5 is not yet officially released)
- Who of you is using Pre Release Packages for OBS from
openSUSE:Tools:Devel or openSUSE:Tools:Unstable
Feedback is very welcome to improve usability or potential Bugs.
Kind regards, Martin Mohring

Wow! Does this mean, than an ARM port of openSUSE is under way? Is there any way to run OBS natively on ARM? With a faster ARM board it might outperform QEMU. Bye, CzP

Depends on what you mean with under way... In principle yes.

Yes. no problem. I can package the workers, they run also on arm natively. But a worker should normally have 512 MB of RAM, to be appropiate for all packages. gcc i think needs even more (at least to compile it on x86 target). not sure about packages like OpenOffice.

Any news on this? I'll hopefully receive an iMX515 developer board ( http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS8595694202.html ) in the near future, and would be nice, if I could run openSUSE next to (or rather: instead of) Ubuntu! Bye, CzP
