Supporting AARCH64 #350

Open sallyhaj opened 3 weeks ago

sallyhaj commented 3 weeks ago

Hello there, Thank you for all your efforts in supporting free and open source projects. Is there a plan to add arm64 (aarch64) support in your project? I have checked this fork https://github.com/berkley4/ungoogled-chromium-debian/releases and it has only support x86 architecture.

thank you.

Hi @sallyhaj,

There is no reason why arm64 cannot be supported for ungoogled-chromium, given that Debian already builds regular Chromium for it. It is simply a matter of enabling the platform on the build host.

(Note that we don't have regular Debian builds up and running yet, as that is waiting on #349)

I don't have a lot of background information from users who are on ARM. Could you tell me a bit about what hardware you are running on (RaspberryPi?), and what your view is on Debian's ARM support versus Raspbian?

Thank you @iskunk , Yes, I use RaspberryPi 5 as a normal desktop PC, Debian testing with Gnome. Chromium is available in both Debian and RaspberryPi OS, but no Ungoogled Chromium. I don't use Raspberry Pi OS, I like to use the main distros only. Thank you for contribution.

Thanks, this is good to know. I've been wondering how Debian vs. Raspbian is considered by RaspberryPi users.

I will ensure that ungoogled-chromium, once the release automation is updated, builds for all the platforms Debian supports with its chromium package, including arm64.
