No worries, it'll come over time ;).

This happens in "config.sh" which is defined in the "JeOS" package. The
file already exists in 13.2, but apparently a space was missing. Duh.

Usually any magic like the one above happens inside the image assembly
description, namely the "JeOS" package that the respective JeOS builds
link to.

Ok, I've added a Contrib for Allwinner (sunxi) chips for 13.2 at

  https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:ARM:13.2:Contrib:Allwinner

I've also copied the Factory u-boot and kernel into it and modified JeOS
so that it hopefully picks the correct binaries from the devel
repository. I've also added you as maintainer for the repository.

Let's see how far this gets us and what is still missing. Please also
always fix problems you encounter in Factory first and only then
backport them to the 13.2 contrib repository.
