Bug#895390: openfoam: please add ppc64el to the list of less-parallel Ubuntu architectures

[Steve Langasek]

Package: openfoam
Version: 4.1+dfsg1-1
Severity: minor

Dear Anton,

The openfoam package in Ubuntu had started to fail to build on ppc64el with
an OOM error.  Digging into this, I found that amd64 and arm64 already had
special handling in debian/rules, to build with lower parallelization on
Ubuntu.

I have uploaded the attached patch to Ubuntu to add ppc64el to this list,
and the package now builds.

Cheers,
