The Fedora build model has changed somewhat recently. With Fedora 7, we've open-sourced the build system and released it to the community. What this means is that the Fedora builds actually happen in the community outside of Red Hat. People volunteer hardware resources for the build system (koji), the packaging system (punji), the GUI (revisor), and the webUI (wevisor). For more information, see: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/TomCallaway/SecondaryArchitectures While this makes sense for x86/x86_64, folks usually don't have resources to spare on the z. Or am I wrong? Out of curiosity (please don't flame), would anyone be willing to contribute a small LPAR and some network bandwidth to this? I'm not saying Fedora can't happen without this, but it definitely would help. I, too, would like to see Fedora on z released publicly and updated regularly. There are a couple of hurdles to overcome, though. Thanks, and feel free to respond off-list. -- Brad Hinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sr. Support Engineer Lead, System z Red Hat, Inc.
