[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#839643: src:rustc: ppc64el is missing

[Erwan Prioul]

Package: src:rustc
Version: 1.11.0+dfsg1-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to build the package. I followed the guidelines from debian/README.Debian, but I hit an issue:

It seems the tarball for ppc64el doesn't exist (pretty obvious).


I'd be glad to help to enable rustc on ppc64el.

Erwan.
