RPM Package for rhel in ppc64le

[eugenepptech]

Hi Sir,

Would like to have rpm package for rhel in ppc64le. Anyone can advice? Very appreciate.

@eugenepptech: please open a PR in wkhtmltopdf/packaging instead -- look at build.yml and create a centos7-ppc64le target which has qemu: true and uses ppc64le/centos:7 as the base docker image. As I don't have the hardware, I can't really test the build even if it is successful.

I've created a package for pcc64le -- see https://builds.wkhtmltopdf.org but can't confirm that it works, as I don't have access to the hardware. Please submit a PR to the wkhtmltopdf/qt repository if you need to patch Qt to get it working. The patch to wkhtmltopdf/packaging is quite simple:

Please see the latest release which has packages for a lot of ppc64le targets. Please add a comment if you face any problems in using the packages :+1:

A release candidate for the 0.12.6 release is now available for download, which should contain changes which possibly address this issue.

Would appreciate downloading the package and reporting back if any issues are encountered during testing. Assuming all goes well, I plan to release 0.12.6 on the 2-year anniversary of the previous release i.e. June 11, 2020.
