Bug#1101034: Add ppc64el support to qtwebengine
Package: libqt6webenginecore6
Version: 6.8.2+dfsg-3
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: tpearson@raptorengineering.com
Hello
qtwebengine has the noticeable lack of not supporting one of the standing architectures for the stable debian releases: ppc64el.
This has been reported upstream:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-56465
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-120034
The reason used is that there is no official support of ppc64el in Chromium.
But Debian's Chromium supports ppc64el, there are binaries of chromium for ppc64el since 2022:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1005083#40
Due to the time elapsed since the upstream reports, I think it is appropriate to apply the necessary changes downstream in Debian.
Thank you very much.
