In response to Harold's question - there is a SFTP service running on the
Fedora11 image. At least in the Hercules image that is.
Using it I was able to FTP the Midnight Commander RPM to Fedora after
downloading it on my Windows host. I used psftp as the Windows Client (From
the makers of Putty). Unfortunately the RPM wasn't installable as there
were many unmet dependencies. I am now in the process of setting up
Hercules on Ubuntu - hopefully my Windows networking woes will go away and I
will be able to 'yum install' everything I need, then I can just ship the
image back to windows !! (Well that's my plan for now)

Is there an FTP server installed? Better yet, is there a place that has
a list of the installed packages?

Hi Harold.
As already posted on the marist list, i'll add that as it's really a
small and very useful tool that i remember now many people on IBM
mainframes use as it's similar to the x3270 consoles.
Regarding an ftp server, what are you referring here too? For the images
we only have the secondary arch spins hosting site at the moment which
doesn't have FTP access afaik. For the packages themselves we have our
normal fedora repositories along with mirrors, some of which will have
FTP access.
The idea of releasing a list of installed packages though is really
good, i'll do that for the next release and will post the current one to
the thread on Marist list.
Thanks & regards, Phil

Hi Harold.

This would have answered my question. What I was asking is if a FTP
server was already installed on the Fedora 11 image or not that would
allow Fedora 11 to be a FTP server as opposed to an FTP client. I am
assuming it has a client installed. Maybe not. Anyway, this list would
easily answer such questions. Thanks.
Thanks & regards, Phil

Hi all,
please, could some low-level s390 guru take a look at the atomic
primitives in libatomic_ops [1]? Are they correct, any improvements
possible, ...? I am trying to recommend this library as a universal
source of atomic primitives for user space instead of developing a
limited set for each project individually (and usually only for major
archs like i386/x86_64).
Thanks

I'm not sure the s390x version is correct.
Apparently (but I could be wrong), AO_t is pretty much guaranteed to be
a host architecture 'int'.
On s390x, an int is a 32 bit entity.
On s390x, the s390.h code performs a "CSG" - which acts upon 64 bit
registers, and the target memory address will be seen as a container for
a 64 bit value (basically storing a 64 bit value in a 32 bit container -
thus overshooting by 4 bytes).
The Compare and Swap instructions are as follow :
s390/32 bit : CS
s390x/32 bit : CS
s390/64 bit : CDS
s390x/64 bit : CSG or CDS
s390/128 bit : N/A
s390/128 bit : CDSG
