Many Thanks Berthold, looking to be a grand New Year with a new repo for the s390x platform. I'll have to find a home for Tumbleweed in the next days. I'm downloading the x86_64 version of 20161226 at the moment to have a look around at what is on offer. But what I'm sure will be a hit, KDE will be once again available on s390x. A grand New Years Gift to the SUSE community to have a real "Desktop Environment" on s390x again. I think the slogan of KDE says it all, "Experience Freedom!" Happy New Year... __R ________________________________________ From: Linux on 390 Port [LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU] on behalf of Berthold Gunreben [b...@suse.de] Sent: 31 December 2016 20:36 To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20161226 for s390x
Hi everyone, I am happy to announce that openSUSE Tumbleweed 20161226 is available for s390x. openSUSE Tumbleweed is a rolling release, that typically always provides the latest updated packages. This makes it a perfect platform for development. This is the very first version of openSUSE Tumbleweed that is available for s390x.
