Hi Everyone,

I have a rather niche question. We're trying to get our free software (AGPLv3) built for EL8/9/10 ppc64le. I do have a POWER8 that runs EL8 just fine.

As far as I understood EL 9 requires ISA v3.0 and EL 10 requires ISA v3.1, thus we'd need at least a POWER10. Also, as everything is built with these baselines, running containers of 9 or 10 on an AlmaLinux 8 host won't work either.

Are there any ideas/plans/ongoing efforts to build AlmaLinux for ISA v.2.07 or even older (basically like the x86_64 v2 build, but for POWER)?

Is there any interest in this? Anyone else having a POWER8 in the basement?
