      Hi Raphael,

thanks for the hint regarding Fedora. Will have to look into the particular
patch in more detail.

Kind regards,

Hi Holger,
FTR in Fedora, rebased successfully about two weeks ago. Be aware there has
been an interim patch needed for prior version 2.33.1 but don't ask me for
reason maybe Dan as maintainer knows better.

P. S. Reception from mailing list does work now for me, finally. Thanks again
to Christian for the fix.

Hi Holger,
the package was in openSUSE zSystems in the past, but was changed to
    openSUSE Factory by the new Maintainer at SUSE.
The old package maintainer had also the required permissions to review and
    submit to openSUSE zSystems. I don't know, why the new Maintainer does not
    want to have any contact to us and therefore did not ask for the
    permissions.
SUSE is using an older kernel. Therefore, s390-tools are not on the top
    priority list by the new Maintainer.
I hope that makes the reasons clear.
    Best regards,
    Sarah
