Hi all,
Given the conclusion in the discussion here, I've submitted a SR to remove ppc64 (the big endian one) from publishing.
The end of an era. For almost a decade I hoped that I could use OBS to build packages for a brand new big endian POWER hardware: https://www.powerpc-notebook.org/en/ When the project started, it even made some sense, not just nostalgia value. But I gave up home (and donations) a while ago. I still have ppc32 hardware with openSUSE 10.X somewhere in a box: I kept it for nostalgia value, as I worked for Genesi, the makers of the Pegasos PPC workstations for half a decade. But installing the latest openSUSE on a 20 years old hardware does not make much sense anymore... Peter
