Banana Pi M2 Zero (status)

[katoomba]

I am listed as the community maintainer for the Banana Pi M2 Zero. I haven't actually done any maintaining but I am thinking about doing so now. But before I do, a couple of quick questions.

 

1) The latest build (as far as I can see), is Aug-31st, 2023. Do I have that right? Or am I missing something?

2) The main page for the Banana Pi M2 Zero (https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m2-zero/) shows a link to Armbian_community_24.11.0-trunk.273_Bananapim2zero_bookworm_current_6.6.54_minimal.img.xz which is for "Minimal/IOT images with Armbian Linux v6.6". Is that a generic build for all community maintained sunxi hardware? Or is that a specific Banana Pi M2 Zero build and I just don't know where the main builds are stored?

3) I happen to like the Banana Pi M2 zero but are there are reasons that anyone can think of that makes it a waste of my time to maintain this older board?

 

Apologies for the basic questions. I am trying to get up to speed so that I can begin contributing to Armbian.

 

UPDATE: I answered questions 1 and 2 by referring to the https://docs.armbian.com/Board_Maintainers_Procedures_and_Guidelines/ page. And, I answered question three myself. The Banana Pi M2 Zero is still manufactured and sold as of 2024 and I use it in one of my products. So I will get down to the business of supporting it with Armbian.
