Hi Michal, >> Apparently you didn't search the list archives: >> http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-arm/2015-11/msg00011.html > Yep, I was searching in OBS, didn't expected answer this bad.
Not sure how that answer is related to the question anyway.. So to summarize: Leap 42.1 is in sync with SLE12. Both dropped 32bit support already, and we just didn't bother fixing packages for Leap on armv7 (remember, its a very old toolchain and a very old base system). Since packages are in sync with SLE, it would be difficult if not impossible to get 32bit fixes into the tree. I've had my share of experience with getting the aarch64 fixes in that I needed in order to bootstrap Leap for aarch64 and I had more than enough to do with that, didn't have time to do any other architecture anymore. >> A workaround for the Arndale boards has been identified by Bernhard and >> Dirk during Hackweek, but I'm not sure whether it's deployed yet. > Ok, will try to read up what was the issue.

We're supporting Tumbleweed, and it is a automatically tested supported distribution, building for 3 ARM architectures. I think thats a good situation to be in, since I think there is a overlap between those people who play with openSUSE on their ARM hardware and those who want the latest, coolest stuff. It certainly would be difficult to get ARM related fixes into the distribution for Leap. > OBS, it will just cog up and there will be neither Leap nor Tumbleweed > as we lack build power.

Correct, workers for OBS instance build.opensuse.org need to be in the isolated network in the NUE datacenter. But thats not an issue since build power is not the primary issue, the primary issue is that Leap dropped 32bit support. > Did somebody already talked to Andrew about our lack of resources?
