I'm surprisingly close to having most of this working for openSUSE, openSUSE already ships a RPI3 image with enlightenment as the main desktop so I'm happy to work from there. One of the main things that need to be done before we can really push this forward though is eo needs to be stable at the moment things like edi are simply too hard to put in because they break every efl release. If there are missing applications i'm happy to add them My current level for entry into "stable" which also goes into openSUSE is 1. Must be maintained / semi maintained, 2. Must have had some form of release, 3. Must not use efl beta features (such as eo), i'm happy to include things that don't meet that criteria but hey will likely go into a "Unstable" repo instead. Currently i'm planning 3 images. 1. Stable OS with Stablish apps (including ones from the unstable repo) 2. Stable OS with efl / e / apps built from git. 3. Rolling OS with efl / e / apps built from git. The 4th option of Rolling OS with stable e / apps doesn't make sense for now, its basically openSUSE Tumbleweed. What I haven't done yet is "EOS" branding for lightdm, boot, etc. If we had that (which probably isn't hard to add) then it would likely make sense. I also plan to add atleast some of these images to our openqa automated testing as well. Currently most of this work is on hold because there is a bunch of other stuff I'd like to get done before openSUSE / SLE release deadlines, but after that I'll likely have some time again and I might try and do some this week. -- 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
