Fedora 21 for IBM System z release

Recommended Posts

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/s390x/

http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/21/Everything/s390x/os/

 

 

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. :)

 

For general Fedora documentation please see
