>What about working ARM port for 2014?

We have a few only ARM-related issues for OpenMandriva
It is main problem *https://issues.openmandriva.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4
<https://issues.openmandriva.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4>*
And few dozens packages that need any special  optflags or patch.

Sure, best way it's rewrite urpmi to C++, but we don't have much
human-resources to do it.

>- ARM images, +1 if available for Raspberry-Pi

Well. If we want to support ARM images we need few "Official-supported"
boards/servers
like Calxeda Energy Core
http://www.zdnet.com/calxeda-updates-arm-server-on-a-chip-eyes-more-systems-7000022508/

Create image with arm packages it's so easy job, for 20-50 minutes
(dependent on channel bandwidth) but if we want support images we need test
and run it on REAL hardware

Good link, like opensuse support own distro on ARM boards
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Supported_ARM_boards
http://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi

Also RPi not ARMv7 arch as i remember rpi is ARM11 (armv6)

If someone really need repo for rpi it's not so hard to port, we can
do it (under
my leadership) in a short time
but i need 1-2 smart guys ;)

And mainline for ARM is arm64/aarch64 port.
Need to schedule a package with arm64 board.

Suse links:

6 months ago i done job related to aarch64 but without ABF its REAL hard to
support repo's
