Well, first answer I got pointed at lack of build power :-) I know Leap has no official 32bit support but there were times when openSUSE didn't have arm support. > > Did somebody already talked to Andrew about our lack of resources? > > Yes and we just got 4 additional servers (today).

For me and for one or two boards it's fine as I'm playing with it. But I have some boards that are "in production". Both at home and at my parents. For those I need something that moves slower, doesn't change that much and can be running there for a year or two, receive just some conservative bugfixes/security fixes in that period of time and than be migrated to newer version. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
