Thank you in advance! ** Description changed: + [Justification] + The powerpc-ibm-utils package is specific to IBM POWER servers. It is built for Ubuntu's powerpc and ppc64el architectures. However, the version in Ubuntu 14.04 lacks full support for running on a little-endian host (ppc64el); and because powerpc is a 32-bit host OS its usage on IBM POWER servers is minimal. This is a hardware-enablement SRU to fix behavior of powerpc-ibm-utils on ppc64el. + + [Test case] + Proper functioning of powerpc-ibm-utils to be confirmed by IBM. + + [Regression potential] + The new upstream version of powerpc-ibm-utils consists primarily of endianness fixes and build system changes, with a few minimal backwards-compatible changes to scripts. The current package is of minimal utility on powerpc and is known to work only partly on ppc64el. Risk of regression is negligible. + ---Problem Description--- Updated package to support ppc64 little endian is available. This fixes various issues found with LE.
