Support for armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf about muslrust HOT 5 CLOSED

Oh, yes, that seems quite appropriate. I remember seeing the announcement of cross a few months back, but didn't take a close look at it. I wonder why OpenSSL is listed as not applicable musl targets. I'll open an issue over there and reference this one. Thanks!

Hey there, thanks again for the support.

Honestly though, I'm not convinced this project is actually necessary anymore.
What's your opinion of cross? It provides images like this one, but does it with a general tool that allows tons of architectures.

I can see the armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf target supported there, though apparently without openssl, but maybe it's a better place to start.

I'm kind of considering just redirecting people there and telling them to use cross build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl --release instead. It is a more general solution.

Just a note this works for building from a Mac/Windows as long as docker is installed where as cross does not so I do think this project still has legs. :)

Oh nice, yeah that makes sense. I noticed later on that cross mounts a bunch of cargo and rustup folders and relies on getting the toolchains updates outside the image. I haven't fully grokked how that actually works, but it's nice that you don't need to upgrade the images all the time. On the other hand, it's not great because you need to have rust set up outside of it to use it as you say.

I will keep posting updates to the images at least. Maybe it could actually be worth adding support for other images as well. Travis builds and dockerhub usage is free from my perspective at least 😏

Going to close this for now. Hard enough maintaining this one :-)
Rather just focus on having this image work well for the major crates.
