[DEV] Porting homebrew to Linux ppc64le

(1/1)

tle:
homebrew is a popular package manager for macOS. I have been using it on my MacBook Pro for more than 10 years. It's simple and 'just work'!

Good news is that homebrew has officially support Linux! But not-so-good news is that they don't support ppc64le architecture. Well not until now, introducing a set of patches to port brew to linux ppc64le, you can see more details at https://github.com/homebrew-ppc64le/brew

I have let the homebrew community know about my work on https://discourse.brew.sh/t/preliminary-support-for-ppc64le-platform/6832 and let's hope they would endorse the ppc64le officially.

Nice work!

tle:
I am getting serious with this project and decided to fork the homebrew for the time-being.

For more details how to install, please go to https://github.com/homebrew-ppc64le/install

There are still LOTS of formulas that aren't tested against PPC64LE Linux. So any help is greatly appreciated.

tle:
I have made progress with this port with more formula binaries, for example gcc. It is now much easier for everyone to give it a try :)
