Architectures/s390x

Fedora s390x

• IRC: #fedora-s390x on irc.freenode.net
• Mailing List: fedora-s390x
• Regular IRC meetings: TBD

Targets

• short term goals:
• build all F-10 packages which then will be used to bootstrap F-11
• add all required patches to F-11 CVS
• reached out to known interested parties in community
• reaching out (through contacts) to IBM community (.de)
• have several "interested parties" that will help once we are building packages/trees
• set up externally/publically available koji instance
• s390x koji instance
• identified build guests within Red Hat (internal access only at first)
• identified persistent storage (> 2 TB anticipated in first year alone)

• temporary location (while we sort out long term permanent location)
• start F-11 composes
• identify the resources used for composes
• get F-11 s390x bootable
• this is blocking on the external dedicated environment issue (above)

History

FUDcon 2008 was an excellent event. During the conference, a session on secondary arches was presented and there was an excellent effort made to reach out to new arches.

After several months of bootstrapping as of June 2009 we've reached a state where we have most packages built from current Fedora rawhide CVS. There are still around 600-700 failures, most of which are related to java dependencies.
