The test matrix is already pretty large (6 tasks). Does it make sense to add everything once more for ppc64le? Can we e.g. add one test only, against the newest stable python? I'm just afraid to consume too much Travis resources...
Note that argparse-manpage package shouldn't suffer from architecture problems, it's so called "noarch"... you can build it on x86_64, and then run on ppc64le. What is to motivation for this PR?
I forgot to thank you for the PR!
@praiskup - This is part of the Ubuntu distribution for ppc64le. This helps us simplify testing later when distributions are re-building and re-releasing. Mostly the changes of power support runs in parallel to Intel binaries without consuming much of the travis resources. Thank you. For more info tag @gerrith3
@praiskup In terms of running the full test matrix on ppc64le - 1) all builds run in parallel, so there shouldn't be any net add to your build/test time 2) the travis on power hardware is free (at least to you ;-) ) and 3) I believe the build/test cycle here is pretty short. But it is your call as to whether we take a subset from your matrix or test the whole matrix. @nagesh4193 can update the .travis.yml whichever way you prefer.
I wouldn't mind if it took a bit long er to run the tasks, really ... It just sounds a bit wasteful to duplicae everything O:-) Nevermind, let's give it a try.
Added power support for the travis.yml file with ppc64le
