Greetings from Lappland home of a Lapdancing
Tuesday, October 28th, 2008 by TuukkaFirst of all I like to thank everyone (all those 18) who voted me. I’m actually thrilled about someone even noticed I’m in the race. Good thing about this voting thing was it did had better voting procent that we had last sunday in Finland (We also got voting). We only got 61,2% (Who is 0,2?) which means we have 1,5 million sleeping citizen. That’s about that
I have my opinions about chosen persons.
Call for the embedded
Are you embedded device developer? Are you interested in maintaining something in build.opensuse.org? Let’s make OpenSUSE better for embedded platform developers to come. I’ve been packaging GPE lately. Then I go packaging Hildon. I’ve been also playing around to get some crosstoolchains available for OpenSUSE but get stuck on OBS and RPM stuff.
What about the title
Everyone who have watched South Park knows that Lappland is home of a lapdance (As Cartman puts it). So here I’m writing this from Levi tunturi and as you can see from the picture here is snow and cold. /me like it!




Hello Tuukka,
I’m planning to provide some Ada specific RPMs via OBS. Maybe this can be interesting for your embedded packaging “project” as Ada is used to some extend in development of embedded systems (especially for safety critical systems). If you’re interested, please let me know.
Regards,
Jens
I have got cross development working in OBS. We have implemented it so there can be used the original binaries from non x86 platforms.

Now I wrote a complete blog as an answer to this.
