[Server-devel] ARM based XS ?

[David Van Assche]

Actually, OpenSUSE's build service now properly builds ARM for Fedora,
Debian and Ubuntu, and very very soon OpenSUSE too. Its worth taking a
look at that method, as the router based arm products are almost all
gonna be ipckg or opckg, which are very similar to dpckg, but just
trimmed down with less policy stuff...

kind Regards,
David Van Assche
