[EPEL-devel] Any news on alternative arch support?

[Bryan Chan]

Hello EPEL devs,

I would like to report on what we have been doing with EPEL on s390x.

At the last IRC meeting (September 4), bstinson suggested that I report
bugs for EPEL package build failures on s390x. A couple of us at IBM have
been doing that over the past couple of months, and even provided fixes for
some of the packages. The bugs are listed under this report:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1267648

We recently uncovered a bug in our scripts that led to false failures, so
we are re-building the packages again to try to get a more accurate success
ratio. Some package groups are not buildable right now (e.g. nodejs-*,
mongodb, etc.), as we are still porting the code upstream for those
projects. There are other build failures that we haven't gotten to yet; we
will continue our investigation, and document our findings in bugzilla.

nirik mentioned he was going to contact the Fedora s390 arch maintainer...
Was there any news on that front?

Regards, Bryan
