[CentOS-devel] libssh missing from extras/ppc64 repository

Hi

I've noticed that libssh inexplicably vanished from the ppc64le C7 extras
repository, c.f., http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7.4.1708/extras/ppc64/Packages/ .

The weird part is that this package is still available for ppc64le on
http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7.4.1708/extras/ppc64le/Packages/


The first time I noticed this was on Dec 10, though it might have been deleted
earlier.


Is there any reason why this happened? I assume that libssh was updated and a
rebuild for all arches attempted, but the ppc64 builder might have either had
general problems or the build failed in some other way. Would fit in (kinda)
with the outage notice from Dec 2nd.

I've tried tracking where "extras" builds are taking place. CBS seems to be a
reasonable place for that, but the information for libssh seems to be outdated
as per https://cbs.centos.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=51

This page only lists rev 2, while the x86_64 and ppc64le repos both feature a
package with rev 3, though.


Given that the ppc64le packages don't have a .centos suffix, am I right to
assume that such packages are built internally by Red Hat and that this
infrastructure is not transparent to users?


In any case, I'd appreciate a rebuild on ppc64.
