Not immediately but we are aware of that feature request, it is also most liked 
on github.com/icinga/icinga-packaging
I’ve heard from a similar customer request a while ago, but no updates here as 
far as I know.

Well, compiling from source is an option. Although I agree, packages are nicer.

It is the thing with open source - you do everything you can to make both users 
and customers happy. There’s many different flavours and opinions around which 
feature is the most important one, be it IPv6, Armhf, 
Cluster-Staging-Config-Sync, Reporting for Icinga Web 2, etc.

I agree that we should have everything at some point, for now those providing 
full time resources on Icinga are mostly working on the new backend solving the 
Reporting request and many more things all and around Icinga (Web and 
Distributed) (that is, my employer).

In terms of armhf, I’ve seen attempts by community members preparing the build 
scripts and whatnot. This is well received by the team, making a future 
integration into the build server easier. Still, if you know a customer who is 
able to sponsor time and resources for armhf packages, get in touch at 
i...@icinga.com and discuss sponsoring these packages. Not only you but 
everyone else out there waiting.

Cheers,
Michael
