Apparently you didn't search the list archives: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-arm/2015-11/msg00011.html

Yep, I was searching in OBS, didn't expected answer this bad.

FWIW there is no 32bit Leap anywhere - not on x86, not on ppc and not on ARM.

A workaround for the Arndale boards has been identified by Bernhard and Dirk during Hackweek, but I'm not sure whether it's deployed yet.

Ok, will try to read up what was the issue.

If so, where lives wip so I can help?

If you want to help, set up a private OBS instance somewhere and start building Leap and fixing any failures. Chances are that if you use qemu-linux-user on x86, like Factory's armv6hl, you'll be able to build packages but won't be able to build any images beyond the rootfs.

Hmmm, in general not enough resources to effectively fork whole OBS in long term, don't have powerful enough computer that I can spare for a long time.

So you are saying that currently there is no effort to support armv7l on Leap, just somehow building Factory. And if I will try to do it in main OBS, it will just cog up and there will be neither Leap nor Tumbleweed as we lack build power. And the workers cannot be distributed outside of NUE datacenter, so I can't contribute my spare CPU cycles. Am I correct?

I'm fairly sure if someone else takes care of the "keeping Leap working" bits, we can solve the build power issues. Would you commit to be the contact point for it?

Just my 2c. For some reason Leap 42.1 kernel has armv7hl config. I suppose we need to start from checking if it still builds and boots using Tumbleweed packages. Second issue is bootloader which still doesn't support multiple kernel. So, I think maybe better to focus on having armv7hl for Leap 42.2. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
