This is a simple Debian repository for the box86 project. New versions are compiled every 24 hours if a new commit on box86's repository has been made, you can find all the debs here: https://github.com/Pi-Apps-Coders/box86-debs/commits/master
These debs have been compiled using various target CPUs and systems. You can see all the available pkgs below.
SPECIAL NOTE: all packages are compiled for native armhf, even the ones with ARM64 in their target name! It's possible to run them on arm64 systems but you need to either run a multiarch or compile from source.
