With Fedora soon to no longer build for the PPC64 platform, the ability for EPEL to continue support of this platform is going to get much harder.
As such, it would be good to look at ending support for this platform in our build system when RHEL-7.7 happens.
What could be done is the following:
0. Wait for RHEL-7.7beta
1. Email various lists about the plan.
2. Update the epel-release with a warning on PPC64 that the END of LIFE will be happening and this platform will be moved to archives.
3. patch mirorrmanager for anything needed to do the below
4. At RHEL-7.7 release,
4a. archive off ppc64 data to /pub/archives/epel
4b. take out builders for ppc64
4c. make an epel-release which points ppc64 to /pub/archive links
4d. update mirrormanager for ppc64 links to go to /pub/archive
4e. retire content as needed
Please add to this ticket what we really should do as this is a very rough plan and needs thought and planning.
Stephen J Smoogen.
