Hi Richard and the libguestfs team,

We are currently using libguestfs as part of our automated build pipeline (via Bazel) and rely on pulling the pre-built fixed appliance tarballs from [http://libguestfs.org/download/binaries/appliance/](http://libguestfs.org/download/binaries/appliance/).

We are expanding our support to the ppc64le architecture, but noticed that there are no official pre-built ppc64le appliance tarballs published in the upstream binaries directory.

Could we request that ppc64le tarballs be published alongside the existing amd64/x86_64 appliances for future releases?

We understand that publishing multi-architecture binaries often comes down to CI/CD limitations or a lack of dedicated hardware. If there are any limitations preventing the project from building and hosting ppc64le appliances, please let us know. We would be happy to offer our support—whether that involves contributing build scripts, testing the ppc64leartifacts, or helping provide/sponsor the necessary ppc64le build runner infrastructure to make this possible.

Thank you for your time and for maintaining such a critical tool.

Best regards,
