CentOS - Dec 2018 - 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/>
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 ?

 

Any answer is appreciated 

Greetings Christian Sonnemans.

I'm not sure, but ppc64 is mentioned in "special notes" in the
most
recent release announcement for alt arch:

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!

Greetings Christian Sonnemans.
