Hi, as a followup on the findings of Timothy Sipples regarding qemu, I checked the state of openSUSE Tumbleweed s390x. The first thing I did was installing a openSUSE Tumbleweed s390x on my local workstation, which went quite nicely.
But then, I thought how would it be if the image creation process was automated and crafted for building and developing Linux packages. It turned out to be much easier than I thought. Thats why I wanted to share this here. I did a small writeup on https://azouhr.wordpress.com/2020/05/29/developing-software-for-linux-on-mainframe-at-home/ I can build and run a specifically crafted virtual machine for a certain package within roundabout 90s just by running a command like: osc chroot --vm-type qemu --vm-memory=8192 standard s390x The description does not cover basics of OBS and osc, but I would be happy to help if you run into issues.
