We are working making EPEL-7 releases available on s390x but it may be a while. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__download.fedoraproject.org_pub_epel_epel-2Drelease-2Dlatest-2D8.noarch.rpm&d=DwIBaQ&c=3IlhnxorPWbyVbfJC_b1tA&r=w-BGZyT8Mh4wbowkrl7JBg&m=azVsnfU34Jl0pGcz2rFBKbpdTEF6NAPgIYxLx2b_j4o&s=brICzpSIV7H-hVqXyp3ttHlGUmiaTP36W9iaG68ag9A&e= should get the package and a yum localinstall epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm should allow you to get this. As with all real things, please do this knowing that EPEL is not a product but a community of packages offered to help people get things done. It may not have every package in Fedora in it, but may have many you need. Please follow any site rules for adding an out of band repository to your servers. -- Stephen J Smoogen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www2.marist.edu_htbin_wlvindex-3FLINUX-2D390&d=DwIBaQ&c=3IlhnxorPWbyVbfJC_b1tA&r=w-BGZyT8Mh4wbowkrl7JBg&m=azVsnfU34Jl0pGcz2rFBKbpdTEF6NAPgIYxLx2b_j4o&s=hR6nq-coWbkFn54_oVM3obCVh1K2sGS_Q6HSnQJEfNI&e= ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
