Hi Murilo, This might be better to host on an office hours session perhaps, and post followup notes to this thread - the ask from your side is quite vast, and email might take a while to get traction. But a few pieces of info here : On 23/01/17 20:14, Murilo Opsfelder Araújo wrote: > Hi, Karanbir and CentOS community. > > I am starting this thread to understand what is needed to enable > ppc64le architecture in ci.centos.org, be it hardware, software, or > any roadblock.

This would be a fantastic goal to aim for. The CentOS CI infrastructure is evolving at the moment, and this is certainly a good time to get involved in that process. There are a few pieces we likely want to address alongside and make sure we cover the entire work flow, from code control to build and test through to release. There are a few SIGs already working against ppc targets, and we could perhaps use those as a model to work end to end with. > We also would like to see docker and cloud images, in general, being > created and validated for ppc64le as part of CentOS pipelines. > > As of 7.3, CentOS on ppc64le became a lot easier, meaning, for > example, that nested qemu/KVM virtualization works out of the box; and > creating and running docker images in CentOS guest works just fine. The docker images etc might be a good place to start from, but there is no infra or process in place to handle these in a sane manner from our side. So I think the first steps we should likely kick off with is making sure we have the ppc64 and ppc64le targets available and setup in cbs.centos.org while we talk about how and where and when we can work on the other bits. eg. even if we were building the cloud images, there is no place to test them. w.r.t the docker images, I think it might be good to engage into the CentOS Container Pipeline and handle it that way. regards, -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
