I guess people want the official OBS to have the generic i686 target
so it becomes a supported Architecture.
Are you willing to "support" it? If so, great, but note that
"supported" means a lot here...
I want to understand what you means by "a lot here". As far as I
known, Meego, currently, almost exclusively use the same upstream
projects as any major distribution does. All that majors
distributions seem to have no issue at all in building a "generic
enough x86" (ex: i686) target. So why do you think that this will be
a lot of work for Meego ?
It's the line "supported" that I'm concerned about. Is the "community"
going to be ready to accept all bug reports and other issues reported by
these different arch packages? That includes the noticable slow-down
that happens when building for a different arch. People will notice...
My question was about technical fact. Not politic.
<politic on>
This was the Meego decision, without the community, to not be based on a
upstream distribution to solve this kind of issue. Several of us have
warned at that time that this will be a big wast of time. The argument
was severely rejected by claim that Meego will be something incredible.
It's now maybe the time to lower the expectation and to go back to the
reality: without a generic enough build, Meego will never reach any
audience like Ubuntu for example.
<politic off>
Now, I am ok the let my politic thinking above all in a trash and to
pragmatically take the actual situation as a fact. So please do the same
and show your real facts without escaping into a flameware.
If some nice Meego OBS specialist will be kind enough to help the
interested peoples to setup a generic OBS on a other non-ssse3 machine,
this will show the reality to everyone without slowing down your so busy
severs.

Jean-Christian
