Hi Jonathan, sorry for not replying earlier - I am on vacation, and thus not always online.

At the moment (I have to emphasize: NOW) PMBS is running on legacy hardware kindle provided by my employer Jacobs University Bremen, where I have rack space, power and Internet uplink available. Most of the workers (named swkj??) are also hosted there, they are legacy machines from 2006-2008, and build packages for x86_64/i586. There are also several workers provided by fellow package builders, which run on their premise, and are connected via a VPN tunnel to the build server (all aarch64 and armv7l workers). This setup will change in the near future, at the moment I am not at liberty to disclose any pending changes at the moment, but hope to do so in a few days. That said, a remote participation of workers is the most probable way to include ppc64le workers, eg. if you have a machine, or have access to it, I can provide you with VPN access credentials and a short instruction, on how to setup the worker software. Greetings, Stefan -- Stefan Botter zu Hause Bremen
