They are from the official repo with a few extra packages from us. In
general the only hooks we had to create were to add s390x to ExclusiveArch
statements and to force it to use golang instead of gcc-go. There are a
few mock —install hooks as not all BuildRequires are complete.

great job, are those plain rebuilds of official EPEL srpms or do you
carry also some local patches? If everything goes well with our
infrastructure changes, we (= Fedora) should start producing official
EPEL-7 builds for s390x with the RHEL 7.4 GA.

I would be (mildly) surprised if anyone outside of Red Hat was compiling

Mark Post




Many OSS developers simply don't have access to s390x machines to
build their packages on, regardless of the Novell vs Red Hat battle.
That issue is being lessened via the developer VMs available at Marist,
and now Fedora for System z (announced to this list last week).

And I'll bite regarding the relatively small RHEL on System z
installations FUD.  I'll be the very first to admit that Red Hat hasn't
overtaken Novell in historical market share _/yet/_, but I'll gently
remind you of a few fun facts:

1)  In 2004, Red Hat held 1.34% of the global Linux on System z market.
By August 2008, we grew to 33%.  By November 2008, it was 37.8%.  I
spoke about this growth and have the slides, numbers, and call recording
published at
http://www.redhat.com/rhel/server/mainframe/partnerupdate/.  This data
is called out on slide 6 of the recording and slides available on that URL.

2)  In 2006 we started tracking how many IFL hardware IFL sales IBM made
and comparing that to how many Linux on System z subscriptions Red Hat
sold.  In 2006 Red Hat shipped 21% to net-new IFL hardware sales.  2007
this grew to 39%.  2008 to grew 110%.  In 2008 Red Hat began shipping
more RHEL for System z subscriptions than IBM shipped physical IFLs,
demonstrating that we are converting a large chunk of our competitors
business.  Our competitors being CentOS, other free Linux distros (i.e.
Debian, Slack/390) and Novell SLES.  This is called out on slide 5 of
the above mentioned webinar.

3) When IBM reinvigorated their Linux on System z efforts in 2007 it was
exclusively with Red Hat
[http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/21513.wss]

I'm accutely aware of the Novell marketing stating they have 80%
share [e.g.: http://home.comcast.net/~cavmen/SLE11-200906-CAVMEN.pdf,
slide 4].  I fully agreed with that statement in 2007.  Things have changed.

plug
Also, people will note that our public data ends in August 2008.
Red Hat will be holding a joint analyst/press call mid July regarding
our updated status on System z.  Contact me off-list for details on
that. Unfortunately this call will only be open to analysts, however I'd
expect the press to release their findings in a public forum shortly
after the call.

Hi,

I'm in the process of rebuilding packages now.  EPEL packages for z have
never existed, but if all goes well they could be released soon.

fyi, this requires a dedicated z guest for compiles/builds (which I
already have), and integration into the current EPEL infrastructure
(which I'm learning how to do now).

More to come soon..

Hello list.


This is my first post to the list. We're about to set up some RHEL 5
servers in z/VM on z10, and would like to incoorporate the z/Linux servers
into our existing infrastructure as much as possible. For example, I'd like
to use Nagios and Munin, since this is what we're currently using on our x86

For our x86 platform we use the Nagios and Munin RPMs found in EPEL. Is
there any EPEL-like repos for z/Linux that perhaps contains these tools?

Currently there are no s390x packages in EPEL.  A while back I had a

it's possible.  I'll forward this message internally and get that
