Thanks Peter. I suppose that since raspbian is still ironing out the
kinks, that is to be expected.

It will not be supported in Fedora 31. It was accidentally added to
the original change and the change page subsequently updated to to
remove the error but the email had already been sent.

Hi,

The change proposal submitted here lists the Pi 4 among the supported
devices, whereas the wiki page does not. I checked the
SUPPORTED-BOARDS file in the accompanying documentation of
arm-image-installer and there is no rpi4 in the list of target boards.
Will the the Pi 4 be supported at Fedora 31 launch or not?

Best regards,
A

OK. The Change text is clearly confusing in this regards, because it doesn't
mention "XFCE spin" anywhere.

That is correct, there's no intention of branding this as Workstation.
This is purely bringing the XFCE spin as a pre-built image as we do
currently on ARMvv7 or like the live image on x86.

When we promoted ARMv7 there was a requirement of 100% identical or
equivalent artifacts as x86_64, when aarch64 was moved to primary koji
the requirements had changed due to the Fedora.next and the Editions
etc so when we added support for images we only enabled the ones at
the time that made sense so we weren't supporting/generating excessive
images with the intention that it was easy enough to add when either
the Spin maintainers were happy to support their spin on aarch64 or
the Arm team had enough bandwidth and there was enough demand for a
particular image.

That's what's proposed here, AFAICS. There doesn't seem to be any
indication that this would be Workstation-branded. It's just bringing
up an existing spin on another arch, essentially.

I definitely agree that there's value in providing for such usecases, but I
also think there's value in defining that as outside of Workstation's scope
and using another name for that offering -- whether just Fedora XFCE or
other.

Ah, OK. That's a much clearer description. Maybe we could change
the Change summary to this?

(We already have Fedora Minimal spin for arm64, so the path for arm64
spins is already trodden.)

There are finally better ARM boards coming out with more memory (the
new Pi 4 has a 4GB option) so going forward Gnome or KDE should become
more viable for at least some of these boards.

So an alternative to Workstation for the lower specification boards
would seem a better option in addition to the other mentioned issue of
what Workstation actually means in a Fedora context.

We're already creating images for Workstation on aarch64, I am a
little late, but am planning on a similar Workstation change I'm just
finishing the write up on.

In general there's usecases where a low resource desktop is useful,
such on devices with only 1Gb of RAM where Workstation doesn't provide
a good experience.

Workstation isn't just the "default desktop". It's a curated
experience that GNOME is a key part of.

I assume that what they're looking for here is aarch64 media for the XFCE Spin.

Are people using gnome-shell on arm64 machines? Would it make sense to
simply switch Workstation default to xfce on arm64?

Fedora 31 Self-Contained Change proposal: AArch64 Xfce Desktop image

2019-07-23 Thread Ben Cotton
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AArch64_Xfce_Desktop_image

== Summary ==
Add an AArch64 Xfce Desktop image to deliverables in Fedora 31.

== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:pwhalen| Paul Whalen]]
* Email: pwha...@fedoraproject.org
* Responsible WG: ARM SIG

== Detailed Description ==

We currently offer Workstation, Minimal and Server images for use with
AArch64 Single Board Computer's (SBC's). We would like to add a
lighter weight desktop image for hardware that lacks the ability to
run accelerated desktops.

An initial set of supported devices:
* Pine64
* Raspberry Pi 3/4
* 96boards HiKey
* 96boards Dragonboard 410c
