Build for Linux/arm64 #2562

Closed aliceisjustplaying closed 3 weeks ago

aliceisjustplaying commented 4 weeks ago

Tested these builds on the following flavors:

I set up some self-hosted runners on a Hetzner VPS I have. I'll need additional permissions (pretty sure needs admin) to add them to this repository prior to merging. I can host them for a while, but we also have other options, I've emailed you about it.

There will be Github-hosted arm64 runners... eventually.

Fixes #1389, #2188.

I would not like to have dependencies on third-party services that can stop working at any time, plus administration difficulties. I think we'll wait until arm64 runners appear on GitHub. Sorry.

@nesbox i'm happy to host them in my fork, would you be okay if I put a link in the readme to it ("unofficial linux/arm64 builds", say), so people can find it? Can also help with one-time builds for the actual releases. More and more people use the 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS and also other arm64 Linux flavors elsewhere, this would help reach. Especially since these can be popular in education.

@aliceisjustplaying Yes, I think it's a good idea. Thank you.

@aliceisjustplaying I'm closing this PR, we will add "unofficial linux/arm64 builds" section to readme later. Thanks.
