Hi Raphael, Neither I nor Holger are working for SUSE and we can not influence SUSE decisions as a community. Thanks for the hint with the required patch. I take a look. That can be a good reason for a bug report to receive an update. Best regards, Sarah

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.

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

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

Hello to all ZSystems list members,
I've got a few questions concerning the s390-tools package:
- According to
the most current release would be 2.34, which is also intended specifically for 6.10 kernels. As 6.10 kernels are the current ones on Tumbleweed for s390x, an upgrade seems reasonable.
- Are there any technical reasons why the package release hasn't been upgraded since February this year, despite the fact that newer kernels for s390x have been made available?
- As this package is intended for the base system of s390x only, I wonder why this package is built in
openSUSE:Factory
instead of the ZSystems-specific factory
openSUSE:Factory:zSystems ?
- What would be possible reasons for NOT upgrading this package to its current release 2.34 and stay with the current one 2.31 instead?
Thanks for any additional info/clarifications.
Kind regards,
Holger
