History
FUDcon 2008 was an excellent event. During the conference, a session on secondary arches was presented and there was an excellent effort made to reach out to new arches.
After several months of bootstrapping as of June 2009 we've reached a state where we have most packages built from current Fedora rawhide CVS. There are still around ~500 failures, most of which are related to java and ocaml dependencies (ocaml is not available on s390x).
For those interested in trying it our you can now download a fully working and bootable hercules Fedora 11 s390x image:
http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/spins/S390/
You will find several files there:
- README
- Very brief howto get everything up and running
- f11-s390x.img
- Hercules Fedora 11 s390x DASD image
- f11-s390x.tar.bz2
- tarball of the whole tree. Can be unpacked on a real machine (confirmed it works!)
- hercules.cnf
- hercules emulator config file
- hercules.init
- Small script to start up hercules with some iptables rules for NAT (might require you to modify your personal rules in order to work properly)
