* Broad hardware support of components and platforms
So, what is the stance on Sparc, HPPA, Arm - do we want all of these as core part of the project?
I think if somebody is doing the work to support one of these platforms it should be welcomed by the project, but I don't think that any of these platforms should be an explicit part of the strategy. We shouldn't rule out any platforms either, of course.
We currently do not provide a complete home, e.g. there's no source repository. I don't expect that the proposal wants to change this but like to make it clear that we cannot provide a "complete home".
Yes, the home for handling the distribution parts is important, but a full upstream code hosting platform is out of the scope of openSUSE, I think.
* Create the official openSUSE distribution as reference implementation
The "as reference implementation" strikes me as a bit odd and I'd like to see this a bit better explained. Reference for what?
Also, isn't the distribution more than just a reference? It's a usable distribution...
It's a reference for what you can do with openSUSE, so it's of course a usable distribution, but it's not the only possible distribution you can build using the tools, packages and other infrastructure of openSUSE. Reference is meant as a standard example what the openSUSE platform is capable to do. -- Cornelius Schumacher <cschum@suse.de> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
