linux-arm (Raspberry Pi) and linux-ppc64le (Raptor CS Talos 2/Blackbird) support #5957

Closed darkbasic closed 1 year ago

darkbasic commented 1 year ago

Which project is this feature idea for?

Turborepo

Describe the feature you'd like to request

turbo is not multi platform anymore and I've already had to abandon it in several projects due to this.

See https://github.com/vercel/turbo/issues/2616 and https://github.com/vercel/turbo/discussions/1891#discussioncomment-3913339

Describe the solution you'd like

Turbo should support all major platforms.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've already had to move to yarn 4 (which integrates a brand new task runner) in several projects. I'd rather like to be able to use turbo.

Platform expansion is something that is not going to be considered until we finish removing Go from our codebase. Once we are in a pure Rust codebase it is something we would consider in PR form based upon our feelings about the likely complexity of ongoing maintenance. The PR would just need to demonstrate getting a working build on GitHub Actions, not the full automated release process.

We have discovered that the cost of maintaining just the right versions of dozens of tools to end up with a working build is extremely high and grows relative to the infrequency of use of the platform.

Uncommon platform? Generally many times more difficult.

We already have to support tool chains for:

We had to use zig cc to make it work. And that's just to support the six we currently support.

I'm closing this because we are not intending to address it short term, and long-term we would be looking for community support.

That wouldn't be hard to achieve, I could do that. May I ask to keep this open to track the progress? Maybe adding a "waiting for rust" tag or something similar. Thanks.
