Hello together, Tomorrow - Tuesday, the 19th September 2023, is the next of our training/meeting sessions. We will receiving a colleague as a guest, who wants to learn how to integrate git downloads via service files into OBS builds. And it seems, that our zSystems build load will be growing. Elizabeth has added our OBS into the list of free resources for building/working on a mainframe besides the LinuxONE (OSS) Community Cloud: https://openmainframeproject.org/news/developer-resources-for-linux-on-s390… I am open for questions and a round to find together solutions for open tasks. We will meet us at 19:00 (German time)/ 10:00 (Pacific time) on our openSUSE Jitsy: https://meet.opensuse.org/s390x Topics for this session: 1) Know each other (networking) 2) Guidance in integrating git downloads into OBS 2) cmsfs and s390-tools - How to proceed 3) Bug report: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1215337 4) Other Packaging topics 5) Open tasks and questions 6) Q&A I expect, that we will need 1.5 hours. I am looking forward to see you all. :-) Best regards, Sarah

cmsfs is failing
by Sarah Julia Kriesch 06 Sep '23

Hello together, I went through our failed packages and I have identified cmsfs, which is really s390x specific. The software has not been updated since around 9 years. Therefore, I wanted to check the IBM website for the support. The latest z/VM version is supporting cmsfs: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/linux-on-z?topic=c-cmsfs-fuse-1 Anyway, we are receiving this error message for openSUSE: [ 99s] *** UNAME says this is a Linux system. [ 100s] cmsfssed.sh: this release of Linux is not supported! @Ihno: Can you check for SLES, whether SLES is also not supported any more for cmsfs? Then we should report it via the Linux Distributions Working Group to IBM. Best regards, Sarah
