Hello EPEL devs,
I would like to report on what we have been doing with EPEL on s390x.
At the last IRC meeting (September 4), bstinson suggested that I report

As I mentioned at last Friday's meeting, we have tried building EPEL 7
packages on s390x, using a simple script that runs mock on all the
SRPMs, and populating a local yum repo with the generated binary RPMs.
SRPMs that fail to build due to missing dependencies will often succeed
