Check whether binaries can be released for s390x

[Namrata Bhave]

Hi,


We are looking forward to get help from community on publishing s390x binaries. 
As per downloads page, apt repo supports Ubuntu on amd,arm,i386 and ppc64le.
We had reached out earlier and are ready to provide infra if needed. Wanted to 
check again if community is willing to help.

Thank you,
Namrata

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for getting back.

The request is mainly for the developer community to build and publish s390x 
binaries, apologies if I wasn't clear earlier.
We can provide s390x VMs to build and test postgresql binaries if you feel 
infra is a blocker.

Please let me know if any more information is needed.

Thank you,
Namrata

It'd be better to discuss on pgsql-...@lists.postgresql.org -- that's the 
mailing list for the website.

Thanks,

Binaries on s390x arch

[Namrata Bhave]

Hi,

As seen from downloads page, the Apt repo/rpms are not yet available for
s390x for latest versions.
Wanted to know if there is any work going on/planned to provide Postgres in
ready-to-use package or installer form for s390x architecture?
Any pointers would be helpful.
Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Namrata

Hi Christoph,

Thank you for your response.

We will be glad to obtain binaries for s390x on RHEL, SLES and Ubuntu
distros.

We are ready to provide the necessary infra. To enable this, we would need
more information about VM configuration(No of VMs, OS, vCPUs, memory,
Storage). Secondly T &C's would be needed to be signed electronically.
Please let me know if you are OK to proceed and we can communicate further.

Thanks and Regards,
Namrata

Hi,

are you asking about apt (.deb) or yum (.rpm) packages?

s390x is fully supported as a Debian release architecture, so you can
get PostgreSQL and all packaged modules there (PG11 on Debian buster).

The apt team doesn't have plans for s390x yet on the PostgreSQL side.
If you are interested, are you in a position to donate a build host?
