I believe RHEL got the missing desktop bits for aarch64 and s390x in one of the last minor releases. Tested successfully with scratch builds.

Once merged lightdm-gtk should build as well.

It makes sense to build for arm arch, but why you want to use a graphical login manager on a IBM server system?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_System/390
Are you using a graphical desktop on such a system?

sharkcz commented 2 years ago

There is no graphical console, but mainframes are not used from the console, but rather via VMs instead and it makes sense to provide a desktop environment there. RHEL added it, because there was a demand for it and with virt-manager you can't distinguish if the remote machine is a x86 box or ppc or s390x. It just works the same.

raveit65 commented 2 years ago

Ok, gdm is also built for s390 architecture.
But i do not use rhel or his derivatives for myself any more.
So, sorry i can't merge this for myself.
Ihmo, one existing maintainer should use use it to work on bugreports.
Or are you in packager group?

leigh123linux commented 2 years ago

I have zero interest in rhel/epel.

tdawson commented 2 years ago

I'm maintaining / co-maintaining lightdm in epel9.
I'd like this merely for consistency sake. I have enough packages to maintain, and when some do not do s390x, it's a bit of a pain.
