Thanks Alexander,
I'll take a look at it. :)

Hello list,
My name is Sergio Fernandez , I am personally interested in helping
with the development
of the image and OpenSuSE repositories for Raspberry Pi , since I
have a project for a
specialized desktop computer based on these two components.
I have seen that there is only unofficial images for Raspberry Pi,
by SuSE decisions.
I've also seen that everything is a bit chaotic and therefore funny
:) And I'd like to participate.
I have several years administering Linux systems , I´m familiar with
SuSE enterprise systems,
and packaged for RPM distributions such as Mandriva and Mageia (and
of course RHEL). Don't know
how SUSE buildsystem works, but come with the intention to learn.
I downloaded an image from Bernhard repository and I launched my
Rpi. I've done some modifications
and configurations and, works well . But I need more integration and
stability and I want collaborate to
do it for everyone.
So where I can start? What to read , where to search ...
The main reason we don't have an official Raspberry PI image today is
that the build fails:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:ARM:13.1:Contrib:RaspberryPi
The build fails because the kernel we're using inside the build VM
doesn't have proper FAT support. There are 2 things to do here:
1) Try to build an image locally. Use "osc build" to build it on
your existing RPi installation. Check whether the result actually
works.
2) Enable proper vfat support for the guest kernel in our RPi build
project. Adrian just introduced a feature this week that should make
this possible. But it's not for the faint of heart yet :).
Once we have those 2 pieces solved you should even be able to build
your own customized image in OBS for the RPi.
Oh, there is more to fix. When you look at the XFCE or E17 image, you
will see that there are unresolvable packages. That's most likely
because they simply haven't compiled. It would be good to find out
why
they don't compile, fix them and then somehow make them available to
everyone (probably an overlay in the Ports repo plus a maintenance
update).
Regards
P.S.: Sorry for my English. Not so proper.
Welcome on board :)
Alex
