Hello,
Currently, I am in process upgrading s390-tools to 2.34 on Factory. There
is a Rust compilation error during the build process. IBM are working on
patch to fix the issue. There is workaround suggested by IBM for the moment.
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.

Raphael
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
