Missing loongarch64 packages in openEuler `everything` repos #70

Open xen0n opened 2 hours ago

xen0n commented 2 hours ago

openEuler 24.03 LTS, seems to lack LoongArch64 in its everything repo, despite having ISO built for the architecture. The newer 24.09 version does not support LoongArch64 at all!

As we believe the port not to be a one-off 面子工程 project, something certainly needs to be done. This issue can be used as a tracker for any related work.

24.09 是创新版本 没有非x86/arm架构是可以接受的 想要有需要让龙芯投入人力去做 我觉得纯属浪费人力行为 因为没有厂家基于创新版本衍生下游发行版售卖

24.03 没有everything也是预期的 还是需要大量人力投入 oE更倾向是一个利益联盟 没有足够的利益驱动做这个 那就没有

In IM conversations it's clarified that openEuler releases does not follow a typical train model where once support is added in, it stays indefinitely as long as there's no bit rot. In reality it's up to vendors to decide whether to follow up on a certain release "node", and the degree of such participation -- and the Loongson camp simply didn't choose to work on everything. (In contrast, the oERV community took up the hard work so riscv64 got to enjoy everything.)

So in the end it's likely still a matter of attracting enough devs ¯\(ツ)\
