ALCON,
With OpenCobol now becoming GnuCobol, I am curious which (if any) of
the distributions it has made that package inclusive as a standard package thus
far?
Until recently I had not looked at OpenCobol in several years, though
it does seem to have matured quite nicely.
Very Respectfully,
Stuart

Subject: 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/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 http://docs.fedoraproject.org/
and Fedora 21 common bugs are documented at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F21_bugs

future release, where and how the team can be reached and just anything else

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.

Our team got expanded during the last year so my thanks also go to the other
team members and to everyone involved in making this happen!
Your Fedora/s390x Maintainers
