Should Fedora for ARM officially support for some well known boards?
I would like to see Fedora ARM installable on popular ARM boards by
conventional installation mechanisms (IE, anaconda) without any
additional steps necessary.
Do you think Fedora should provide the bootloader for well known
boards
where the required board support is merged mainline?
If the bootloader is in flash, lets use the bootloader that is provided.
If the bootloader needs to come from the OS install, the OS install
should provide it. As an example using today's hardware that would mean
using the Trimslice's built-in uboot, but providing a uboot for the
Pandaboard during install-time. This will hopefully increase Fedora ARM
adoption.
Assuming somebody is willing to take this maintainership role, is there
any objection to the above?
