This sounds like a fantastic SIG to create, particularly if it can build and integrate with the work done in Fedora directly. A couple of questions.
- The subject says "Datacenter SIG" but there's a notable lack of
datacenter RISC-V hardware... anywhere. Is it safe to assume the SIG would build to that eventually but start with some of the more developer oriented hardware available today?
Thanks, Josh. One of the purposes is to ensure that CentOS is ready when hardware does become available, as we expect the need from the community to escalate quickly. Right now there are a few performant boards on the market with many more announced and expected to be GA this year.
- Are there expectations for hosting and integrating new hardware
into CBS, or is there some other plan in mind?
- Would it make sense to use an ELN build of Fedora RISC-V as the
seed buildroot, or perhaps do the work against the existing Fedora secondary arch hardware entirely?
These are excellent questions that I would propose as first topics for the SIG to determine.
