It took me about a week to manually build the necessary bootstrap packages for riscv64, then another week to bootstrap it in a private OBS instance. The result can now be seen in https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Factory:RISCV.
Very cool. Is the initial bootstrap done via cross-compilation or did you use the existing Fedora bootstrap for riscv64 for that matter? On Debian there is a very useful project called "rebootstrap" which will automatically bootstrap an almost complete Debian base system (it's still missing Perl which is apparently hard to cross-compile automatically) from scratch. It produces around 650 binary packages and requires a single command invocation. It would be nice to have something like that for openSUSE. Also, once I have compiled the minimal package set for openSUSE, what is the usual way to get the packages uploaded onto the FTP servers? On Debian, I have to sign the .changes file of each package with my Debian GPG key and then I can upload the package to the Debian Ports FTP servers.
