Thanks, we defenetly need some time to check it and decided that are we planning to do with that

This doesn't look like an invasive change at all: if it doesn't affect other architectures I see no reason to not merge it. I'd love to see ppc64 support because OpenPower is the only libre platform available right now.

I'm sorry, my management didn't decided that to do here, so my hands are tied

@ShockwaveNN I'm confused, I thought you were considering what to do in terms of testing and merging?

What would Raptor need to do to help merge? As I've mentioned before we can provide resources (CI/CD) etc. as needed; multiple organizations are already using OnlyOffice with NextCloud on ppc64el and that number is only expected to grow.

Thanks!

Indeed we are, but we got two problems

1. We need to pay for our https://www.integricloud.com/ account and I cannot speed up this process at all
2. I haven't enough free time to check this compilation and my superiors should allow me to do so

I may check compilation via qemu even if it takes a long time, but you need to provide commands on how to start that system architecture in qemu

And if you want to share Raptor accounts - I think it's better to contact [email protected] because I don't think that I'm allowed to use any third-party services\accounts without knowledge of our support stuff

Just a friendly ping on this. If it helps, we have public CI/CD on OpenPOWER here that could be put into service:

This is deployed in production across a number of sites on ppc64le at this point, so it's not just one user affected...
