Mathieu Benoit 6656f07e2b [ADD] python-vcs-versioning, the half setuptools-scm lost
from vcs_versioning import Configuration
  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named vcs_versioning

setuptools-scm was split upstream and its own build imports the half that left.
The traceback runs through setuptools build_meta, so what the log showed for
several passes was

  ERROR Backend subprocess exited when trying to invoke build_wheel

a backend complaint about a package that had been divided in two. Fifth Python
build-time package this port has had to add, after flit_core, setuptools,
poetry-core and hatchling.

--- FR ---

  from vcs_versioning import Configuration
  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named vcs_versioning

setuptools-scm a ete scinde en amont, et sa propre construction importe la moitie
partie. La trace passe par build_meta de setuptools : ce que le journal montrait
depuis plusieurs passes etait

  ERROR Backend subprocess exited when trying to invoke build_wheel

une plainte de moteur au sujet d un paquet coupe en deux. Cinquieme paquet Python
de construction que ce portage doit ajouter, apres flit_core, setuptools,
poetry-core et hatchling.

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.
