Any launchpad PPA can have s390x enabled, so you can interate in your personal PPA https://princessleia.com/journal/2019/06/building-a-ppa-for-s390x/ Snaps can be built for s390x too, via launchpad or build.snapcraft.io You can get access to z/VM instance as part of Debian Porter Boxes https://db.debian.org/machines.cgi zelenka => need to get ack from Debian & accept Debian machine usage policy You can request an s390x instance from IBM LinuxONE Community Cloud https://developer.ibm.com/linuxone/ (Click the top level button to Request a VM) Canonical employees have access to s390x, so you may need to find willing canonical remote hands to assist you. -- Regards, Dimitri. -- Ubuntu-release mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release
