Control: severity -1 important Control: tags -1 + patch Dear maintainer,
hereby yet another request to build makedumpfile for the s390x platform. The makedumpfile program is required to fully support kdump. On s390x, makedumpfile is also used to post-process "standalone" dumps. "Standalone" dumps are dumps created by the traditional dump mechanisms, DASD dump and zfcp dump utilities. There are still used and provide a fallback in case kdump itself fails. So I have increased to severity of this bug. Attached is a patch to enable the build for s390x, as well as, enabling the LZO compression for makedumpfile. LZO compression would be nice but is not a must. Kind regards, Hendrik
