Hi to all project maintainers,

As you may know, over the last few months the oVirt project had got
some code contributions geared towards enabling the use of s390x
(Mainframe) machines as hypervisor hosts.

As you may also know, if you've followed the relevant thread, some
work had been done in collaboration with the Fedora community to
enable os390x support in oVirt`s CI system.

We're now at the point where we can take the final step and enable
automated builds of node components for s390x/fc27. Looking at what we
curently build for ppc64le, I already took the time and submitted
patches to enable build jobs for vdsm [2], ovirt-host [3], and
ioprocess [4]. The relevant maintainers should have had these patches
land in thair inbpx already.

Few questions remain however:
1. When would be the best time to merge the patches mentioned above? Given
   that some of the projects do not support fc27 yet, that the new
build jobs may
   raise issues and that the 4.2 release is fast approaching, the
right timing should
   be considered carefully.

The major concern I have is on the patch dropping sudo requirements at https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/85219/
If you verified that it doesn't break CI, I think you can merge right after 4.2.0 GA.
 
2. Which additional projects need to be build? I can see we build some SDK
   components for ppc64le as wel, are those dependences of vdsm? Will we need
   to build then for s390x?

They're not vdsm deps, but please build them too.
