Libzim for Archlinux aarch64 without compiling

[kelson42]

From libzim created by sobaee: openzim/libzim#396

Could you make it available to install this amazing module to Archlinux (aarch64) without compiling it manually?

Either this, or python-libzim one?

Why it just support linux (86-64) 😞?

[kelson42]

The run-on-architecture action "simply" run the action under qemu to emulate a specific arch.

It looks like Github CI allows aarch64 https://github.com/marketplace/actions/run-on-architecture. Should be theoritically possible.

@sobaee Aarch64 is an architecture mostly for mobile devices... so not really part of our priorities to have a compiled version for python-libzim. Out of curiosity, whatkin of hardware do you use?

[kelson42]

@mgautierfr We need to move on this, more and more devices use this arch.

@mgautierfr
I just know some informations about archlinux and some commands which needed by a simple user

Could you just explain this with details, please?

[kelson42]

It is just a comment about how the run-on-architecture pointed by @kelson42 is working. There is no really more to say :)

[kelson42]

Will try to make a PR for that to at least have it in the CI
