There was a little inconsistency between the Fedora and Everything repositories requiring a last minute respin, but the Fedora 17 GA release for the IBM System z is finally here. This time again a bit closer the primary when we count the number of available packages.

The links to the actual release are here:

http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/17/Fedora/s...

http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/17/Everythi...

and obviously on all sites that mirror the secondary arch content and we still have few :-)

The first directory contains the normal installation trees as well as one DVD ISO with the complete release.

Everything as usual contains, well, everything. :)

Additional information about known issues, the current progress and state for future release, where and how the team can be reached and just anything else IBM System z on Fedora related can be found here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/s390x/17

For architecture specific release notes, please read it as there are again changes in the installation process. It's a wiki so don't hesitate to add your knowledge there.
