Cool. Given how long the build takes, I'm reluctant to add it to the normal weekly build right now. If we want to build arm64 live image(s) regularly, then we'll need to find some native arm64 hardware to use. There's time to make that happen, we just need to justify the money and setup effort to get that done. If we're hoping to generate a complete set of arm64 live images to match amd4, thet's going to need a big machine of course. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "Managing a volunteer open source project is a lot like herding kittens, except the kittens randomly appear and disappear because they have day jobs." -- Matt Mackall
