jonpspri opened a new pull request #3108: S390x execution of OpenWhisk
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/pull/3108
 
 
   The intention of this PR is to merge in changes necessary to the OpenWhisk core code base for it to run on a Linux on Z environment.  These changes are driven primarily by the unavailability of certain Docker images on the Linux on Z platform and the creation of substitute images (usually in a more recent base image).  The hope is that with a move to Xenial and (possibly) OpenJDK most remaining incompatibilities would disappear and multi-platform images would become available.
   
   In the meantime, some override capabilities have been introduced into the ansible configuration and the image build has been adjusted to support conditional Dockerfiles.  (At one point, I was using m4 and/or templating, but for the moment only pick-a-Dockerfile seems necessary).
   
   I'll be on the usual Slack channels.
   
   (Yep, this branch has been going for a while... sorry for all the merged commits -- not really)
   
   I have an active Apache CLA.
