Support for perl on linux ppc64le and linux s390x

[npanpaliya]

Hello,

I've a query about supporting this relocation-perl on linux ppc64le and linux s390x. I see this https://github.com/skaji/relocatable-perl/releases has tars of perl for various OS/arch combinations, but none for linux ppc64le and s390x. As per my understanding, these assets are the inputs used by build/Dockerfile for building relocatable-perl. Is that correct?

We need this for rules_perl which is used by ray 2.1.0.

Kindly help me know if this support is possible and if yes, what I would need to do.

Thanks in advance,
Nishidha

I don't have used ppc64le or s390x instances,
so I'm not sure I want to support those architectures in this project.

Anyway, you could build relocatable perls by yourself.
All build steps are described in .github/workflows and build.
(You need to tweak them for ppc64le/s390x architectures, though.)

As per my understanding, these assets are the inputs used by build/Dockerfile for building relocatable-perl. Is that correct?

Do you mean this line?
https://github.com/skaji/relocatable-perl/blob/main/build/Dockerfile#L23

Yes, Dockerfile uses a relocatable-perl to build relocatable-perls.
But, you could just use the "system" perl to build relocatable-perls.

Thank you so much @skaji for your response.

I'll try building it from system perl.
