Yeah, that's familiar, when I sent the initial patch fixing the URLs I hacked some stuff to force the BUILD_ARCH value to ppc64le on my x86-64 laptop. That's not a scalable approach. Not having the tooling seems reasonable, as having it does kinda suggest you'll try to maintain things you can't test. Even though I'm trying to argue for that, again, it's not scalable and I understand the push-back :) > We > spot issues with the other two build architectures since the autobuilder tests > them. > > There are probably some tricks we could play to handle this.

I have pointed Alex at some resources to access ppc64le systems: https://lore.kernel.org/openembedded-core/[email protected]/ But if that's too much fuss then we can maintain the checksums in a bbappend in OpenBMC like has been suggested.
