Hi,

I am one of the MeeGo guys you mentioned. Jan-Simon and me did the cross compile solution for ARM already with openSUSE 11.2.

So it was exactly vice versa: we implemented cross build first for openSUSE 11.2 and then to MeeGo.

What we need to reenable it is someone needs to bring it back to work on openSUSE. That means: changing packages.

Jan-Simon had done before 11.2 a lot of work so that ca. 1000 of the Factory packages build and a base system for ARM boots.

But in the end, it was the amount of work to get a real, working, tested ARM version why it was never finished.

Everybody who is interested to get openSUSE on Arm can start to get the Base project building form ARM.

If we have this fixed and merged the fixes to Factory, we can enable Arm there and handle possible load problems via dispatcher priorizations.

IIRC there was some talk about Novell (prolly SLE based) announcing some ARM builds (MeeGo based iirc). Is there any chance we could incorporate those since we already are the base for SLE without canibalizing whatever N wants to earn money with it in that field?

I am not aware of that.

Point just being, openSUSE is somehow the playground for SLE but it certainly would be nice if it would work the other way too - that is by Novell peeps contributing their fixes to get SLE build on ARM to openSUSE since this would make it much easier to get started.

Yes, but as said before, I am not aware of any SLE Arm project. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
