armv7h mirrorlist? about arch4edu HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi, we've dropped the armv7h support when we changed our build system. The kernel used in our current aarch64 builder isn't complied with 32-bit (ia32) support.

To add armv7h back, we need:

1. a native armv7h builder or an aarch64 builder with a kernel that has ia32 support.
2. a few weeks to make some changes in the build system to build and push armv7h packages again.
3. some confidence that archlinuxarm will not drop the armv7h support soon.

Personally, I believe alarm will drop the armv7h support maybe in a year or two. So I'm afraid it may not worth the effort to add it back.
And just curious, is there any reason to keep you using the armv7h alarm than the aarch64 one on rpi4?

Ahh, I see. Alright, that makes sense.

Not particularly. In fact, I admit I wasn't aware that was a possibility. Back when I installed alarm on the device I just went with the installation instructions on their site. I probably read over the fact that I could install AArch64. I regret that now... I'll have to reinstall alarm on it soon now, I suppose. Thank you for your reply!
