CentOS For Power7 No Longer Available ?
Hello CentOS fellows,
I liked to run CentOS on my IBM Power7 machine and therefore I used to download the images form:
http://isoredirect.CentOS.org/altarch/7/isos/ppc64/
But not it seems that this link is not working:
The requested branch/release/arch/filename does not seem to be valid, please check your input
Is CentOS 7 no longer supporter for IBM Power 7 machines witch uses CentOS
Big Endian 64 bits ?

I’m not sure, but ppc64 is mentioned in “special notes” in the most recent release announcement for alt arch:
https://lists.CentOS.org/pipermail/CentOS-announce/2018-December/023083.html
Yes, because the link is supposed to be working for the latest release, aka 7.6.1810
So http://isoredirect.CentOS.org/altarch/7.5.1804/isos/ppc64/ works but not the /7/ as there isn’t a 7.6.1810 release for ppc64.
So, from an infra PoV, the link will work as soon as there will be a ppc64 release. But I can’t answer about where it was stuck, what’s left to be done, etc.
Thanks for all the info. I guess we just have to wait a few days:
You’ll see that ppc64 is missing from the download list, don’t read too much into it. We had a few last minute problems with it and didn’t want to delay the release because of it, ppc64 will be available in the next few days.
Happy new year and keeping up the good work!
