Architectures/s390x

Fedora s390x

• IRC: #fedora-s390x on irc.freenode.net
• Mailing List: fedora-s390x
• Regular IRC meetings: TBD

Targets

• Brad Hinson and I are working to get external dedicated environment available 2/14/08 - we have a static external ip address set up, and are installing the software for the system that will serve as the build server for the s390x arch, hopefully that is up and running in the next day or so

• short term goals:
• missed goal of having build instance up for F9 Alpha 1
• reached out to known interested parties in community
• reaching out (through contacts) to IBM community (.de)
• have several "interested parties" that will help once we are building packages/trees
• building rpms targeted for F9
• set up externally/publically available koji instance
• first sample koji instance
• identified build guests within Red Hat (internal access only at first)
• identified persistent storage (> 2 TB anticipated in first year alone)

• temporary location (while we sort out long term permanent location)
• starting F9 composes
• identify the resources used for composes
• start initial proof of concept composes
• this is blocking on the external dedicated environment issue (above)

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.
