Fedora 17 for IBM System z 64bit has been released



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/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. :):
