Travis-ci: added support for ppc64le #206

Closed dthadi3 closed 3 years ago

dthadi3 commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I had added ppc64le(Linux on Power) architecture support on Travis-CI in the PR and looks like its been successfully added.

Reason behind running tests on ppc64le: This package is included in the ppc64le versions of RHEL and Ubuntu - this allows the top of tree to be tested continuously as it is for Intel, making it easier to catch any possible regressions on ppc64le before the distros begin their clones and builds. This reduces the work in integrating this package into future versions of RHEL/Ubuntu.

Regards, Devendra

I gave this some thought, and what I came to was this: if the ppc64le CI ever did spit out a "you've broken things on ppc64le" error, I'd just ignore it anyways, and wait for some actual ppc64le user to come and say "I have a broken thing". And even then maybe ask them to cut me a cheque, since the ppc64le ecosystem is so small. So I'm going to leave this on the floor. You're welcome to run this CI on your fork and fit any ppc64le issues you find, I'll accept pull requests for actual fixes.
