It would be nice to have support for openSUSE.
Thank you in advance!

In good time, @Cris70 and @two-dogs. Devs must work on a few distros first before diversifying.

Although it would be better to implement it in the snap so it does not cause problems

The snap itself (snap install --devmode --edge anbox) should work already on openSUSE. The missing bits are the binder/ashmem kernel drivers. For these we don't have a DKMS package for openSUSE. Anyone interesting in contributing a rpm spec file for this?

@morphis I don't understand, we don't have DKMS packages for binder/ashmem?

I'd be willing to write up a specfile, but I'm unfamiliar with binder/ashmem. Where are the drivers hosted? Google turns up dead links and random github projects.

@charlag I think @morphis was asking for a .spec file to create an OpenSUSE-specific package for the DKMS (binder/ashmem) drivers. OpenSUSE doesn't use deb packages, only rpm, so if they have to be installed outside of the snap we'd need an rpm built.
