If openSUSE is really open, we have to be able to build it using OBS and publish it on the mirrors, with official support. Same as, for instance, Evergreen, KDE3, etc.
Carlos, Just a little clarification. OBS is 2 things: - first it is the software required to run a build farm. In that sense, OBS is FOSS. - second it is a set of servers that build the openSUSE distro and run the OBS software. It has an awesome ability to build 10's of thousands of packages a day. I suspect if 32-bit is made a port instead of a main release, the scheduling algorithm could be adjusted to introduce a day or 2 of delay when OBS is backed up and it would address much of the load issue. (Ie. OBS has periods of low load most weeks. Lowering 32-bit packages priority would greatly accelerate how fast 64-bit packages would get built.) - as to the mirrors, they are not under opensuse's control. They individually decide what they mirror. - official support, I'm not sure what that even means as relates to openSUSE. Greg -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
