Install the latest developer version of llvmlite via conda on AArch64

[guoqiangqi]

We can install the latest developer version of llvmlite via conda with simple command conda install -c numba/label/dev llvmite on x86_64, but the current version on AArch64 is llvmlite-0.32.0dev0 which is a much early version, maybe we should update the corresponding packages.

@guoqiangqi I am not sure what you mean exactly. Looking at anaconda.org:

https://anaconda.org/numba/llvmlite/files?version=0.36.0

The latest aarch64 packages are there?!

Maybe you can supply:

a) What did you try to do? b) What did you expect to happen? c) What happened instead?

(including commands and relevant logs or output where appropriate to illustrate the point).

Thank you!

@esc Sorry for not making myself clear. When i install llvmlite on x86_64 machines with conda install -c numba/label/dev llvmlite, i can get the latest developer version of llvmlite (0.38.0dev0 exactly), output of conda as follows:

(numbaenv) qiguoqiang@ecs-ba0b:~/huawei/numba$ conda install -c numba/label/dev llvmlite

  llvmlite           numba/label/dev/linux-64::llvmlite-0.38.0dev0-py39hf484d3e_0

but on Aarch64 machines, the developer version i got was 0.32.0dev0:

@esc I can find the linux-aarch64/llvmlite-0.38.0dev0-py38hbfd4b83_0.tar.bz2 packages in the list you provided, so it may be that my operating system has small issues on conda support. The operating system I use is OpenEuler. I closed this issue and would notify you if there are new discoveries. Thanks for your quick reply and your patience.

I am unable to reproduce on a raspberry-pi:

Do you have more information about what kind of aarch64 machine you have? Maybe the miniconda/miniforge version?

OK, no worries, please don't hesitate to re-open in case you don't manage to resolve.
