Hi Matt,
Don't be afraid! We tested our changes carefully also on i386/Linux.
Everything should work fine. Hopefully even better than before :-)
Regarding the question about an s390/s390x rpm, it would be good,
if you could send me the source rpm, when you have it ready.
Then I will ensure that it compiles on s390 and s390x.
At the moment we are not allowed to ship binary rpms due to
legal reasons.
But IBM has a started a program called "Linux Community
Development System" which provides access to a Linux/390.
If you are interested in a Linxu/390 System, check the following link:
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/os/linux/lcds
So for now, it would be sufficient to have a source rpm on your
web site which can be compiled on Linux/390(x) without problems.
Best Regards
Michael

Wow, when all of you make a check-in, you don't mess around. :)
Okay, got all the changes. Are you going to roll an RPM around
the same time we do, or are you going to do your own? I'd need
an S390 to roll the RPM against, which I just don't have hanging
around the house. :)
Thanks for all the bug fixes, additions, and clean-ups along
the way. I'll go through these changes, although it will take
me a while. Needless to say, I won't hold up 4.0 just to do
the review -- it'll still go out Friday.
