Availability of linux-arm64-musl packages? #50

Closed maur1th closed 2 years ago

maur1th commented 2 years ago

Since the project ships linux-x64-musl packages, are there any plans to start building linux-arm64-musl packages?

rvagg commented 2 years ago

No, but that's certainly a possibility. Are you aware of any numbers of musl-based arm64 usage that we could use as a gauge for how popular this might be (and therefore how worthwhile it would be to maintain it?).

Have a look at https://github.com/nodejs/unofficial-builds/tree/master/recipes for how we build these things and consider how practical it might be to do this on an x64 host (i.e. we'd have to cross-compile). At the moment we have no multi-machine build pipeline for this project.

We leave it up to the official images Jenkins setup to build those images/architecture combos. The do build, but i'm not sure if they are some of the "unstable" builds in their CI

Thanks for the replies. We switched our images to debian based ones instead.

This would enable me to run Node.js via the binary on Postmarket OS (Alpine-based distro for mobile devices).

Would be amazing to demonstrate Node.js development on a PinePhone or tablet, for example. (And could have interesting use cases for use in education in the future.)

Since the pull request has not been merged, may I ask that this issue be reopened and the pull request reconsidered?
