Hello together, Tomorrow - Tuesday, the 31st October 2023, is the next of our training/meeting sessions. That is no default session, because we will receive some guests from outside of openSUSE. After some discussions in https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/issues/10498 I have suggested an introduction/training for using OBS. We will represent OBS for multi-arch and building packages for multiple Linux distributions. That will include the role of development projects and how the Kubernetes project can use all of our rpm packages as a foundation. 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) OBS training 3) Packaging topics 4) Open tasks and questions 5) Q&A I expect, that we will need 1.5 hours.

cmsfs is failing
by Sarah Julia Kriesch 06 Sep '23

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
