At least, so I was told. OK, let me elaborate as to why I recommend focusing on ppc64le. Big-endian ppc64 has been essentially put in maintenance mode. This means that we'll make efforts to keep the base OS functional, but it will not get new shiny things like golang, containers, Atomic, etc. At some point we will likely deprecate it completely, but we aren't at that point yet. So if you have installed the host with ppc64, that would be somewhat regrettable. As for which is being *tested* in openQA, it'd be great to do both so I fully support that. josh _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
