Mathieu Benoit 4eca3612f9 [ADD] nlohmann-json, and three more packages without their docs
nlohmann-json is a real closure gap, not a documentation cut: both cmake and
cppdap stop on "Could NOT find nlohmann_json". It is a header-only C++ library,
one of the cheapest packages in the list, and cmake is not optional -- the
cmake/cppdap/jsoncpp/libuv group behind it is what several other packages build
with.

The other three are doxygen and sphinx again. jsoncpp's is the least readable
failure in the port so far: doxybuild.py is handed an empty doxygen path and
raises Exception('path is empty.'), so a missing tool arrives as a Python
traceback about a path.

libuv needed two places -- `make man -C docs` and the install of
docs/build/man/libuv.1 -- the same shape as libxml2's docs split and pam's PDFs:
a failure on a path at the end of package(), after a compile that worked.

--- FR ---

nlohmann-json est un vrai trou de fermeture, pas une coupe de documentation :
cmake et cppdap s'arrêtent tous deux sur « Could NOT find nlohmann_json ». C'est
une bibliothèque C++ d'en-têtes seuls, l'un des paquets les moins chers de la
liste, et cmake n'est pas optionnel — le groupe cmake/cppdap/jsoncpp/libuv
derrière lui est ce avec quoi plusieurs autres se bâtissent.

Les trois autres sont encore doxygen et sphinx. Celui de jsoncpp est l'échec le
moins lisible du portage jusqu'ici : doxybuild.py reçoit un chemin de doxygen
vide et lève Exception('path is empty.'), donc un outil manquant arrive sous la
forme d'une trace Python parlant d'un chemin.

libuv demandait deux endroits — `make man -C docs` et l'installation de
docs/build/man/libuv.1 — même forme que le découpage de libxml2 et les PDF de
pam : un échec sur un chemin en fin de package(), après une compilation réussie.

Arch Linux s390x

A port of Arch Linux to IBM s390x mainframe architecture with systemd support.

Boots a full Arch Linux system on IBM mainframes (or QEMU s390x emulation) using a hybrid build: cross-compilation for the kernel, native s390x compilation on z/VM for userspace.

Quick Start

make container        # build dev container (first time)
cp .env.example .env  # configure z/VM access
make all              # build kernel + initramfs + systemd
make test-systemd     # boot it

What Works

  • Arch Linux kernel 6.18.6-arch1 with Arch patches, cross-compiled
  • Initramfs via modified mkinitcpio
  • Static busybox built natively on z/VM, 2.3MB
  • Root filesystem with ext4, switch_root to real rootfs
  • Systemd as PID 1

Pacman, bash, and GNU coreutils are not yet ported.

Build System

The build uses two tiers:

Cross-compilation (x86_64 host): Kernel is built in a Fedora 43 container with s390x-linux-gnu-gcc. Initramfs is generated with a patched mkinitcpio that handles cross-architecture binary injection.

Native compilation (s390x z/VM): Busybox and systemd must be built on real s390x hardware. The z/VM system runs RHEL 9.6 with GCC 11.5.0. Scripts handle SSH deployment and retrieval automatically via .env configuration.
