I've been wanting to add an arm64 appimage for a while, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way of doing it with the tools github actions provides (ie no arm64 environment)
Apart from that, rpm's (and debs as whatever other package formats) tend to be provided by the distros themselves and not by us.
Copy, wish I could help. Luckily it already runs well but if you figure it out it would be much appreciated!
I can provide the single arm64 executable (like we do for x64 builds), but that may or may not work without the other dependencies.
Ah, maybe I could try getting that working? I can try.
I'm having a look at providing an arm64 linux build (both appimage and standalone library).
This will also be useful for retro handhelds that run Linux, as many are hardware-wise more than capable of running Augustus natively.
However, Github Actions only recently launched a private beta for arm64 images. I'm not sure when the images will be publicly rolled out.
There are alternatives like using self-hosted arm64 machines (I've heard Oracle has free arm64 VM's that can be used), but I'm also not sure it's worth the trouble of manually configuring everything.
Just pinging here, Github Actions arm64 images are expected to be available for general use by the end of the year. Hopefully that'll be the case so native arm64 builds can be added.
In the meantime, Flathub provides arm64 Augustus flatpak images on their website.
Hello, flatpak works great but it would be nice to have an option to download an arm64 rpm file. If it's not worth it, it's no big deal but it would be nice to be able to use the gpu with asahi linux which is getting very popular and sadly flatpaks don't utilize the gpu (yet).
