November 2025 – ppc64le/build-scripts: Delivered automated Build and Test Automation for cChardet on UBI 9.6. The work establishes a repeatable CI flow with a new shell script to install dependencies, clone code, build packages, and run tests. It also standardizes script naming, centralizes build metadata in build_info.json, and refactors testing logic to focus on sanity checks in CI for faster feedback and lower flakiness. Cross-distro consistency improvements include renaming scripts to canonical forms (cChardet_ubi_9.6.sh, Cchardet_ubi_9.6.sh) and aligning RHEL 7.x variant naming, with an update to ansible_ubi_9.6.sh. No critical bugs fixed this month; the emphasis was on automation, reproducibility, and reliability of PPC64le builds.
