Thank you for the question. I think I am actually interested in both. The scenario we use for current x86 dist-git tests is based on vms: we spin up a full vm with qemu-kvm, ssh inside it, install a package and run the test script. Should it be possible to do the same with qemu-system-s390x? Maybe even with nested virtualization, with s390x inside x86? > Rich. > > > > > (*) Not really, and some of our infra services are not yet good at > > scaling up, but we are getting better at it. > > > > -- > > Aleksandra Fedorova > > bookwar > > _______________________________________________ > > devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > > Fedora Code of Conduct: > > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > > List Archives: > > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org -- Aleksandra Fedorova bookwar _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
