We can also negotiate uploads to experimental for s390-tools if needed. Now if something like Viktor's suggestion would've worked, I think we could've fixed stretch using that as well. But then it's true that chzdev should be the way forward. And there's too little man power to just make it happen in Debian right now.[*] Kind regards Philipp Kern [*] I hold that Ubuntu could've just made it happen within Debian without much trouble. Even though I sort of understand the context why that didn't happen. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

The other thing is that one has to get rid of the old-style config files, e.g. by not installing them in the first place, which what Ubuntu did. It might be nice if the Ubuntu changes to s390-tools and d-i/sysconfig-writer could be backported to Debian (Dimitri?). -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Kind Regards Viktor Mihajlovski IBM Deutschland Research & Development GmbH Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Martina Köderitz Geschäftsführung: Dirk Wittkopp Sitz der Gesellschaft: Böblingen Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 243294
