Fedora 21 for IBM System z release
Hello everyone,
Fedora 21 GA release for the IBM System z (s390x) is here. This time
only 9 days after primary release. The difference against primary
Fedora is smaller than it was in Fedora 20, but we are still missing
packages related to nodejs (v8 engine not publicly ported to s390x) or
golang (but work is being done on gcc-go, so this should change in the
future) and most of ocaml modules (native port would be required). For
details see http://fedora.danny.cz/s390/rebuild/koji-compare-f21.txt
The links to the actual release are here:
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/21/s390x/ or
directly at
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/21/Server...
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/21/Everyt...
Currently Fedora for s390x is available as the Server flavor (refer to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora.next for more information). The
first directory contains the installation tree as well as one DVD ISO
with the complete release. There are plans on adding Cloud flavor in
the future, but it depends on s390x support in several related
projects. Everything as usual contains, well, everything. :)
