Fedora 20 for IBM System z 64bit official release

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

The Fedora 20 GA release for the IBM System z is here. This time again

a few weeks later than the primary release mainly because of me being

on vacation (again :-)) during the December holidays. The difference to

primary Fedora is this time a bit larger than it was in Fedora 19 for

various reasons. For example some packages now exclude non-x86

architectures even when they built just fine for earlier Fedora

releases. We would therefore welcome feedback about packages that work

just fine on secondary arches so that upstream projects would be more

willing to include our secondary architectures as supported.

 

The links to the actual release are here:

 

http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/20/Fedora/s390x/

 

http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/20/Everything/s390x/os/

 

and obviously on all sites that mirror the secondary arch content and we

still have few :-)

 

The first directory contains the normal installation trees as well as

one DVD ISO with the complete release.

 

Everything as usual contains, well, everything. :)

 

 

For general Fedora documentation please see

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/index.html

 

Additional information about known issues,

the current progress and state for future release, where and how the

team can be reached and just anything else Fedora on IBM System z

related can be found here:

For architecture specific release notes, please read it as there are

changes in the interactive installation process. It's a wiki so don't

hesitate to add your knowledge there. You can find useful information

also in the previous release notes linked from the current ones.

Thanks go out to everyone involved in making this happen!
