PostgreSQL on s390x – CYBERTEC
Debian has an extended historical past of supporting diverse machine architectures, however the variety of architectures supported on apt.postgresql.org, the repository for PostgreSQL on Debian and Ubuntu, has solely been rising slowly. To this point, this has been amd64 (Intel/AMD x86_64), ppc64el (IBM POWER), and arm64 (Arm aarch64). The previous i386 (Intel 32-bit x86) port remains to be there, however just for the oldest launch (and Debian unstable).
At the moment, I’m comfortable to announce that the household is rising once more, with the addition of IBM’s z-series structure, known as “s390x” in Debian phrases.
A construct machine has been offered by Marist School’s LinuxOne cloud. Preparations to get the structure arrange have been operating since earlier this 12 months. Initially, there have been some stability issues with the newer PostgreSQL variations, however these have been tackled with patches offered by the PostgreSQL hackers group. Due to CYBERTEC PostgreSQL for supporting me engaged on this!
The s390x structure is now totally supported for Debian and Ubuntu on apt.postgresql.org.
