Noting that this is optional by virtue of not being included in the top level main.yml. To activate this you'd need to use a modified version with this new role included.

Sorry you haven't had any response to your post int he infrastructure channel looking for reviews here. I don't like doing this generally but under the circumstances I'll tag a few people who may wish to review it :-)

Just need to resolve those failing checks if possible (probably unrelated, but still)

They are failing as we havent ( and wont for JDK21+35 at least! ) be publishing the ppc64le distribution(and others), so they cant find the files to publish.. I've tagged you in the slack discussion. If we can get this merged, we can push the other installers up to artifactory.

Friendly bump on this.

Friendly bump on this.

I was just going through the PRs this morning :-) I'm happy to merge ont he basis that it doesn't impact anything else and so the failing checks are unrelated.
