The simple answer is that if anyone has tried then they've not updated the wiki. There should be no problems in principle. However, the bigger picture is that we're actually moving to a Mer platform SDK. This is essentialy a downloadable rootfs that will operate as a Mer VM. It will include all the appropriate tools such as mic and osc and will be able to install more. http://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Platform_SDK There are pros and cons to this approach but frankly the biggest benefit is that it should work on all distros (and even as VMs on non-linux) whilst only requiring our very limited resources to manage packaging and QA on the single target. Eventually people may want to package some of the Mer tools for other distros on the c.obs and that would be fine. David -- "Don't worry, you'll be fine; I saw it work in a cartoon once..."
