As you might have noticed the ppc64 bigendian port is not released as
part of the more stable Leap releases but is only part of the
Tumbleweed rolling release.

This is because we do not have enough people testing and fixing the
ppc64 port which shows many issues unique to bigendian machines.
Consequently the ppc64 port is not release quality because many
packages will fail to build or will build but not work correctly.

With more users contributing this might change eventually.

Thanks

Michal
