Oliver: to summarize situation we don't have any commitment to get s390x maintaining Oliver this issue is currently specific for openSUSE: [o3][s390x] Early fail on s390x workers: connection refused https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/69328
The main problem with s390x is that the hardware is way more expensive to what normal people within an open source community can afford.
It would actually be nice if IBM developed a slimmed down version of the s390x hardware purely for community purposes, i.e. some sort of evaluation board.
That would be awesome, but I don't have high hopes Others would be helpful too: e.g. HP's Itanium and PA-RISC2
I would also be still interested in getting more architectures added to openSUSE but so far there seems to be zero interest from the community.
In Debian, I'm maintaining ports for multiple architectures including Alpha, HPPA, Motorola 68000, 32-bit and 64-bit PowerPC (BE), SuperH and SPARC. It would be nice to have openSUSE built on some of these as well (except for PPC which we already have). Especially SPARC would be cool as the hardware is extremely fast (up to 5 GHz, 32 cores).
