It is not. I can say for sure that fedora s390x builders are kvm vm's on a real s390x lpar. I am not super sure about copr. I think they did use emulation for a while, but I think they switched back to real hardware. > > There's a number of people pressing vendors and watching new hardware > > releases as they happen.

It's definitely heading the right direction. ;) kevin -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new
