Thread: Binaries on s390x arch

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,

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?

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 Namrata,

thanks for getting back to me.

Note that I'm working on the .deb packages for Debian and Ubuntu. For
.rpm (RHEL, SLES) you need to get Devrim on board. (I'm putting him on
Cc.)

To be able to keep up with the other architectures when building
binaries for PostgreSQL releases, the machine would have about the
same specs as the existing arm64 or ppc64el build daemons:

VMs: 1
OS: Debian buster
vCPUs: 8
Memory: 16 GB
Storage: 100GB (most of that is swap space for tmpfs)

What does T&C mean? Not sure which body on the PostgreSQL side would
be able to sign something. We are an open source project after all.

Thanks,
Christoph

@Namrata: Same here for RHEL RPMs:

VMs: 2
OS: RHEL 7 and RHEL 8
vCPUs: 8 (each)
Memory: 16 GB (each)
Storage: 100GB
