Sure, this will be the worst case scenario, a package that was never tested. Anyway, would a qemu emulation be an option here? I.e, the the developer could boot a ppc64el image using qemu-ppc64le to guarantee that his image works. I am able to do that and run a ppc64le emulated environment easily. Other than that, there are some cloud providers that offers free ppc64le virtual machines for developers, as: http://osuosl.org/services/powerdev/ http://openpower.ic.unicamp.br/minicloud/ https://ptopenlab.com/cloudlabconsole/#/ Anyway, I suspect that, initially, we will probably need to create the very first wheel files before we get developers traction. _______________________________________________ Wheel-builders mailing list Wheel-builders@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/wheel-builders
