Hey @nedbat, At the moment, all jobs are getting cancelled due to a recent change in permissions for our GitHub Actions app. The permissions were reduced from Admin to Organization level. Could you please apply the resolution mentioned here: Let me know if you need any help from our side. |

This action wasn't running tests separately for different architectures. Is there a reason to add ppc64le as a fourth "os"?

Thank you for pointing this out -
adding ppc64le as an "os" entry doesn’t actually give us a separate architecture run. Since there’s no real benefit in this workflow, I’ve reverted the change and restored the original matrix.

The names of the "kit" jobs were getting too long. There's already logic for specifying the version of the OS based on the architecture. This change shows how: diff --git a/.github/workflows/kit.yml b/.github/workflows/kit.yml

This PR introduces initial support for the ppc64le (PowerPC 64-bit Little Endian) architecture in the GitHub Actions CI
🔧 Changes Made:
CI Workflow (.github/workflows/kit.yml)
Added ppc64le jobs to generate wheels that will be runs on ephemeral runners using labeled as ubuntu-24.04-ppc64le.
Testing Workflow (.github/workflows/testsuite.yml)
Added new test job to support ppc64le testing.
