Hello everyone, A few changes have been quietly pushed to the binary package and Docker repositories over the past week:
* CentOS 8 packages are now available in the usual place. * Debian stretch packages for arm64v8 and ppc64le are also in the usual place (and were required to build the Docker containers). * The apache/couchdb:2.3.1 Docker image now has arm64v8 and ppc64le variants. The Docker images need testing on *real* hardware, and preferably with *real* workloads. If you are in a position to do that, please leave your test results here: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-docker/pull/157 Getting positive confirmation is necessary to prepare the PR against downstream to push these changes into the top-level "couchdb" image. I want to quote something from the PR here because I feel very strongly about it: ************* Note: "Support" is defined by us running those machines in our CI infrastructure regularly. This is true today for arm64v8 (aka aarch64) and is about to be true for ppc64le. I feel very strongly that it is irresponsible to add another architecture to this image, or to the downstream Docker top-level couchdb image, without regular CI occurring. You can revisit that decision after I eventually leave the CouchDB project, but know that it'll be with my disappointment. ;) ************* -Joan "remember, I'm a volunteer" Touzet
