Kolla project. Side effect of that work was adding ppc64le (64-bit<br>
Power, Little Endian) support.<br>
<br>
Time passed, from time to time someone jumped to the irc channel and<br>
said that they use it. No one in core team spent much time on supporting<br>
it as it was outside of our interest.<br>

CentOS builds lack 'rabbitmq' 3.7.10 (we use external repo) and<br>
'gnocchi' binary images are not buildable due to lack of some packages<br>
(issue already reported to CentOS by TripleO team).<br>
<br>
Ubuntu builds lack MariaDB 10.3 because upstream repo is broken.<br>
Packages index is provided for 'ppc64le' but no packages so we get 404<br>
errors.<br>
<br>
<br>
Due to all those issues and fact that there are no users of ppc64le<br>
Kolla containers I want to drop support for it in this cycle. Any<br>
objections?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think TripleO uses the ppc64le containers. I'm unsure if we're relying on anything special to build them however. I know there's been some effort to get a pp64le upstream build system going. ccing Wes as he might have the status on this.</div><div> </div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The TripleO team is working on ppc64le right now and should be uploading ppc64le containers to <a href="http://docker.io">docker.io</a> in a few weeks. I'm pretty sure the ppc team is using kolla to build the containers, but I'm not 100% sure as the ppc64le container build jobs are in a 3rd party ci system.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm checking with some folks to get the details that would be helpful here.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks.</div><div> </div></div></div>
