 Subject: New architecture in Copr:
PPC64LE

Hi,
I just enabled new architecture in Copr - PowerPC 64 LE (little endian).

There are those chroots available:
 * fedora-21-ppc64le
 * fedora-22-ppc64le
 * fedora-rawhide-ppc64le

This happened as co-operation of Red Hat, Brno University of Technology
and IBM.

I would like to thanks D, Horak and J. Capik from Secondary
Architectures for cooperation and making this happen.

To enable this architecture on existing project, you need to navigate to
your project -> click on Edit tab -> choose PPC64LE chroots -> Save and
then resubmit your SRPMs.

Enjoy and happy hacking

As follow up to the COPR enhancement, I have also added ppc64le build root in to my docker repo there(https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/jcajka/docker-gccgo/).

To try out docker from COPR:

-----

# Fedora 22 or Fedora 23(aka. rawhide) is required
# enable docker repo

$ dnf copr enable jcajka/docker-gccgo

# install docker
# currently based on version 1.7.0-2.git50ef691 from fedora master/rawhide branch

$ dnf install docker

# start docker daemon

$ systemctl start docker

# you might want to enable docker service to start on system start

$ systemctl enable docker

# run any ppc64le docker container for example 'unofficial' fedora22 base image for ppc64le from my docker hub repo https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/jcajka/fedora22-ppc64le/

$ docker run -it jcajka/fedora22-ppc64le bash

-----

You should have shell in container by now.

It is still not a regular build just "unofficial testing" one, but at least something to try out :).
Regular docker build should be around a corner for Fedora 23, but there is no ETA yet, probably still few weeks(not including time needed by ppc-koji to catch up the primary build).

If you have any issues and/or questions feel free to contact me.

Tried few docker commands successfully on Fedora22 VM running on my P8 server -

Will run more validation tests and post an update.
