I would like to suggest a great addition to the EPEL, the z Systems architecture (s390x). 

I have seem a great number of requests around EPEL for z Systems, its definitely a growing platform around Linux as IBM keeps offering better and more efficient servers that are basically a datacenter in a box - which is a great way for customers to reduce costs by consolidating Linux workloads.

EPEL repository to s390x can be a great way to allow customers to try an unsupported package that still not available to RHEL on z Systems - that can in time mature, and can skip some of the processes to make into the RHEL for z Systems distro.

The idea is to offer more technology options (Fedora Packages) to customers using RHEL on z Systems - this can flag us what packages are customers really interested into for RHEL on z Systems that are still not available in the Enterprise distro.

Please let’s brainstorm this suggestion here, IBMers, community members, Fedora members, RedHatter, you are all welcome to join this discussion.

Thank you,
