To become Old Factory * for users of legacy systems, we will introduce openSUSE:Factory:Intel, the same setup we have for ports like ARM, PowerPC, zSystems, RISCV. This repo will build packages for x86-64 (v1) plus i586, so basically what the current openSUSE:Factory repository does.
Community Actions Needed The :Intel port will require volunteers from the community to look after it. This will entail monitoring the builds, validating QA results (if not passing) and monitoring/pushing on bugs that are exclusive to these architectures (...) **Once the new intel port repository is ready, I'll let you know the exact location of it. We can expect for these changes to take place in the first quarter of the new year of 2023.**
This sounds like a very reasonable approach to me. I assume that means there will be ISO images for the "Intel" port as well, won't there? I think it's a pity that openSUSE doesn't build images for all the architectures built in Factory. Some ports like big-endian PowerPC (32- and 64-bit) are missing. Adrian
