I’ve built libssh-0.7.1-3.el7.ppc64.rpm and libssh-devel-0.7.1-3.el7.ppc64.rpm. They will be in the next ppc64 Extras sign and push.

There is no upstream RHEL 7 Extras for ppc64. There is also no ppc64 golang port which makes it impossible to compile a bunch of the Extras content that exists for x86_64 and ppc64le.

But if you help me identify any C or Python code in ppc64le Extras, I will attempt to build, sign and publish for ppc64.
