At least that's what I was told, as we have no Power9 to test it :)Can anybody with a power9 environment test it and give feedback?
The ONLY items changed from base ppc64le are:
kernel (and all the things that SRPM produce) anaconda (and all the things that SRPM produce)
Besides the binary RPMs produced from those SRPMS .. everything else is just ppc64le built items hard linked in.
So, theoretically the only items that would have an issue would be things that require the 3.10.0 RHEL based kernel and not the kernel-alt (4.14.0 based) .. or that depend on anaconda.
If you want/need to BUILD something against kernel-alt or the new anaconda instead of the base os ones .. we will need to get that set up in CBS.
