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/s390x/

http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/17/Everything/s390x/os/

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:

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.
