Can you tell us a little more about basic support for R for this environment? I would have to remark that even expanding our support to mac ARM was out of scope for our core project, but the demand was significant. Superficial searching in response to your question led to https://github.com/rocker-org/rocker-versioned2/issues/144#issuecomment-1363791740 which suggests to me that we (or you!) could get a dual-platform container out without too much hassle. Would that help meet your need? Once the container is produced there is then the implied requirement that a compatible set of package binaries is made and maintained. That's a place where your offer of machinery and staff time could be very beneficial. We have tooling for binary repository production that should be re-usable on that platform. (Is arm64 linux a build target supported on github actions, by the way?) This is a pretty specialized topic so I think I will make a slack channel for it in the community bioconductor slack and we can carry on the discussion there, although I am fine with further discussion here as well. > > > Regards, > Martin > > 1. https://bioconductor.org/news/bioc_3_16_release/ > 2. https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.17/bioc-mac-arm64-LATEST/ > 3. https://bioconductor.org/help/search/index.html?q=arm64/ > 4. https://hub.docker.com/r/bioconductor/bioconductor_docker/tags > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > _______________________________________________ > Bioc-devel@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-devel > -- The information in this e-mail is intended only for the ...{{dropped:18}} _______________________________________________ Bioc-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-devel
