[opensuse-factory] How to do an in-house top-level build of OpenSUSE?
Hello, I'm strongly considering attempting a build of OpenSUSE for an architecture it does not support yet. I have other Linuxes such as Debian and Gentoo running on this hardware, but not OpenSUSE. There was a similar thread last month regarding SPARC. There's the usual bootstrapping issues to work through (I think I can handle those) - but, where should I look for the scripts/programs to drive the top-level configure and build of a distribution? I've found the BuildServer under svn - but it's not clear to me if that's the right tool for this, or if it's overkill or ??? (or if it contains the distribution configuration info). Any thoughts or pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Mark

Would that architecture be MIPS64? I'm quite interested in having openSUSE run on my Extreme Networks switch which has such a CPU (although I doubt it has enough non-volatile storage for that).

Yes. In particular, I'm interested in n32 and n64 userlands, although o32 is probably the easiest to bring up and the best starting point.
