Hello CentOS folks - this is a first email to propose a RISC-V SIG within CentOS, specifically to support a CentOS Stream port for RISC-V. The idea is to show that CentOS Stream can run effectively on many existing RISC-V platforms, as these have already been demonstrated through Fedora. I'm very interested in feedback on this, as I'd like to promote to the CentOS board as soon as possible.
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.
1. 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?
2. Are there expectations for hosting and integrating new hardware into CBS, or is there some other plan in mind?
3. 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?
