ARM/AArch64 builds for Linux #885

Open RasheedAZ opened 1 month ago

RasheedAZ commented 1 month ago

Is it possible to please provide build ARM builds for Linux?

Appimage and Deb.

I'd like to try Gossip on a Linux phone (with a dock if it doesn't scale well), but it should also benefit other Linux ARM devices like MNT Reform and Pocket, Tuxedo ARM laptops, Steam Deck, Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi, etc.

Thanks.

It is possible, but releases are already taking me several days to put together and each target makes it longer. I've even dropped off flatpak this release because I spent 2 hours and still couldn't get it to find the right rust compiler (it kept finding 1.77.2 which I don't even know where that is installed!) It is becoming a full time job to package and release gossip, and no automated build systems won't help (the build step isn't the bottleneck).

I don't think anybody can effectively use gossip on a phone. The UI is too detailed for such a small screen.
