Hi Gustavo,

Thanks for reaching out for the ppc64el people :)

Not that I am aware of, at this moment.

I'm not familiar with the racket source & binary packages, but they
don't seem to block much of the BD-Uninstallable packages or a/some
more critical package(s) - which has been mostly the focus for the
new release.

I also haven't looked closely, but it fails on ppc64 (big endian) too,
so maybe it's not ported to ppc64 at all? - or you happen to know an
instance of it running?

Let's follow up on a separate e-mail - we're happy to know the needs of
ppc64el users, and prioritize/work on it.

Thanks,
