Hi! I got Fedora working on PinePhone the other day, and it works surprisingly well, even though it's just desktop GNOME.
Awesome work!
It's a 5.6 kernel with... ... this device tree: https://megous.com/git/linux/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-a64-p... (branch: pp-5.6) ... and this u-boot: https://megous.com/git/u-boot/ (branch: opi-v2020.01) ... and some modifications to make bluetooth, sound, cameras, etc. work
How would I go about putting this into Fedora so people could (for example) get Fedora on their PinePhones with arm-image-installer?
Also slightly offtopic, but the version of phoc (needed to run phosh, which is Librem's mobile UI) in the repositories depends on libwlroots 0.7, which is not packaged for ARM and doesn't compile with the GCC 10 (wow that's a high version) in rawhide. Can I submit PRs on https://src.fedoraproject.org/? It doesn't look like people usually do that...
You can definitely submit pull requests to wlroots on src.fedoraproject.org. As a matter of fact, we in the sway SIG (which maintains this package) often update packages via pull requests instead of pushing commits directly.
Cheers,
Dan

Submitting PRs is definitely welcome, especially for the packages managed by the SIG!
But I don't understand yet what you're intending to do: wlroots is built for both aarch64 and armv7hl, so what exactly is missing?
Kind regards, Till

Oh, I meant to update phosh and phoc to be compatible with the current version of wlroots in the repository. The current version of phoc requires wlroots 0.7, which is not packaged for arm64.
What about including the device in arm-image-installer?
Hi Nikhil,
Welcome, I don't appear to have got the initial mail (even the resent one), so not sure if it was sent to the arm mailing list or another one and Dan added you to the reply but welcome.

No probs here.

We add it to that once we have U-Boot, kernel and bits and you can actually boot it with a vanilla Fedora image.
Let me know what else I missed on the thread :-)
