LinuxOne is a very "programmed" program of IBM, no flexibility. I tried to get them to give me even a little leeway on expiration of my VM leases and they have said no, I just have to back up my data and restore on a new lease. -- --- Jack Woehr # Woehr's Asymptote: The ratio of the time spent Box 51, Golden CO 80402 # administering productivity software over the time http://www.softwoehr.com # saved by said software eventually approximates 1. -- --- Jack Woehr # Woehr's Asymptote: The ratio of the time spent Box 51, Golden CO 80402 # administering productivity software over the time http://www.softwoehr.com # saved by said software eventually approximates 1.

Yeah, I don't think that's very useful. The Open Mainframe Project is actually what the VMs are on that we have already. (And that Martha is the contact for.) If there's a way to get normal z/VM access to a LinuxONE VM to reinstall the OS and a way to make them permanent, that'd likely be fine, too.

Paul, in case Mark Post didn't CC you on his reply to LINUX-390 he suggested: Sure, the IBM LinuxONE Community Cloud. Seehttps://developer.ibm.com/components/ibm-linuxone/gettingstarted/ for more information. They do give 90-day Linux on VM accounts but you can't install an OS, you take what they give you (RedHat).

I still would like to send an email to d-d-a around finding porters, lest I think the port should no longer be a release architecture post-bullseye. It's on my very near term todo list. That being said Martha McConaghy manages the IBMISV instance where DSA and myself have a few instances. If we knew the actual requirements it shouldn't be hard to get some more. Disk has traditionally been annoying (because it's delivered in the form of small MDISKs in z/VM rather than large blobs of block storage).

where to search for s390x workers for ci.debian.net?
Hi, Results of autopkgtests in Debian packages are used to influence package migration from unstable to testing. I recently started to expand the amount of architectures that ci.debian.net is covering. We currently have amd64, arm64, armhf, i386 and ppc64el. I have good hopes that we can expand the amount of ppc64el workers and that we get mips64el workers soon (which can also run mipsel). Besides armel, that leaves s390x as release architecture with missing autopkgtest coverage. Does any of you have ideas where we would be able to get access to s390x hosts to run autopkgtests on?
