The openSUSE member who were allowed to vote decided that openSUSE does not want to run on those âlittle devicesâ. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Strategy says:
openSUSE does not: (...) Work on Mobile or embedded devices.
See also link: http://news.opensuse.org/2011/08/09/strategy-done/ <quote> The future The team noted that the strategy is of course not set in stone for eternity although we probably wont go through this process every year and asked for further feedback in the mass mailing to the membership. Some comments did indeed come in, most notably asking for the ARM port and mobile devices as well as the impact of the openSUSE Foundation. In the future, the strategy documents will surely require some revision. Once somebody in the openSUSE community steps up to do an ARM port, which is likely to attract significant help, the document will have to be revisited to reflect this, just like Tumbleweed resulted in a change. </quote> Joop -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
Yet, the strategy paper was decided on when open-slx, basysKom, and some other Plasma developers already used openSUSE + OBS to develop Plasma Active (you know: a mobile device project) which is like saying: “We don't want you work.”
