couchdb for linux ppcle

[ukulanne]

Would it be possible to add a build for Fedora Linux ppcle

# uname -a
Linux localhost 5.0.9-301.fc30.ppc64le #1 SMP Tue Apr 23 23:43:15 UTC 2019 
ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux

# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Fedora release 30 (Thirty)

of course I am volunteering for any help that might be needed.

Hi @ukulanne, sure, I think it's doable; can you try and share the result of building it on your machine?

Anne, thanks for the feedback.

Two things are needed to enable ppc64le builds:

1. Have couch-js that compiles (see https://github.com/adrienverge/copr-couchdb#custom-couch-js-package, and the fix at rpm: Support Fedora 31+ and CentOS 8+ apache/couchdb-pkg#55 for Fedora 31+).

   On my machine, cross-compiling couch-js for ppc64le fails because it cannot install ca-certificates-2018.2.26-3.fc30.noarch and libutempter-1.1.6-16.fc30.ppc64leB. I used mock -r fedora-30-ppc64le --rebuild ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS/couch-js-1.8.5-21.fc30.src.rpm.

   To be honest I don't know why this doesn't work, but since I don't have a ppc64le machine, it's hard to know. Maybe it will be easier for you? Feel free to share modifications needed for https://github.com/apache/couchdb-pkg/blob/7768c00/js/rpm/SPECS/js.spec to work.

2. Have couchdb that compiles. Apparently it starts failing on Fedora 31 and +, because js-devel is not packaged (that's strange... is js packaged on ppc64le?)

Note: it's OK if it doesn't compile on Fedora rawhide (32+). I think it's due to the fact that http://packages.erlang-solutions.com/ hasn't created packages for Fedora 32 yet.
