This isn’t something we really want to maintain but it needed updating for something and it has no one actively maintaining it. I’m not sure if any of our maintainers would be able to build this on ARM and what happens on the next release of the person who built the current one isn’t available. So far, arm64 binaries can be cross compiled from x64 without any problem (that's what is done, even if you're on windows-arm64). This is what the PR does. So anyone with windows-x64 can do it (or GitHub Actions for now). I completed documentation to make sure all dependencies are documented. Concerning testing, at Linaro, we have a pool of machines, attached to our GitLab (https://gitlab.com/Linaro/windowsonarm). We run some downstream CI on our side on a nightly basis (https://gitlab.com/Linaro/windowsonarm/nightly), so we can catch regression on projects we contributed to, and which do not have yet dedicated hardware for this. In more, our partner at Microsoft can (on a best effort basis) ship some hardware to companies open to use it (usually volterra devkit). Sometimes, we advise as well to deploy a windows-arm64 virtual machine if you have compatible hardware (Linux aarch64, or macos aarch64), and we have a public page on how to setup this. All that said, as long as the WindowsOnArm project will be alive inside Linaro (2+ years, and 2 more guaranteed), we'll continue to support projects we contributed to (https://www.linaro.org/windows-on-arm/), so we can help when next releases will be requested. Finally, we encourage projects to ping us when some help is needed or when there is some questions. Hope it help to convince that our contribution can add real value to the Jenkins project! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
