openSUSE for Pinephone

[wibble]

Thank you so much for your work on this image, it's not only very smooth even from the microsd, but is very functional.

I have a few questions though:

- If I "zypper dup", will I get all the changes or should I regularly flash new images?
- How (un)realistic would it be to have a working snapper? I believe we need GRUB and BTRFS, not sure if anything else.

To me this would bring the peace of mind that traditional openSUSE gives, but I don't know enough about the boot process on ARM to see how feasible it is.

Thanks again for your time!

That's an interesting approach for reverting a bad update.

GRUB isn't applicable - u-boot is the bootloader. It can't display anything (no display driver) so although it's capable of having a boot menu, it won't show on the screen. It might be possible to use the LED to indicate boot choices, and use the buttons to navigate, but I've not tried it yet. Assuming that works you'd need to add support for it to whichever tools alter the grub config. I would expect btrfs to work if you enable it in the kernel config.
