we were discussing on irc with you.. i thought i'd bring some of that here. i think we should look into opensuse as a base. it will allow for a more minimal os than something like arch or gentoo (though maybe on par with debian). mostly because simon has been around with us for years and years and i trust him not to vanish. i think working with him to at least investigate would be good. so my take also is to strip out as much as we can get away with. that would mean no lightdm. no plymouth. have the system boot right into a fixed user with no login (have e optionally ask for passwd on startup). keep the thole thing as simple as needed then fill these things in as we have nice solutions. > I have made some raspberry pi images, but they are using an older efl > from before I tried to switch to luajit on aarch64. we can just stick to 32bit arm until this is resolved. > -- > > Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net > > Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek > SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 > GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B > -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
