docker not available on aarch64

[ThatsNoMoon]

System

• xuname:
  Void 4.19.89_2 aarch64 uptodate rFF
  Installation on raspberry pi as per the wiki instructions
• package:
  docker 19.03.5

Expected behavior

xbps-install docker installs docker; docker visible on https://voidlinux.org/packages/ under aarch64

Actual behavior

docker is not found, despite #16430

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Install void on a raspberry pi, attempt to install docker

Its marked nocross (all aarch64 packages are cross compiled, we don't have native builders for it). The linked PR allows to build it natively on aarch64 using xbps-src.

Thanks @Duncaen, that makes sense.

Is there a specific reason docker can't be cross-compiled?

[Duncaen]

golang in general should support it, but dockers build system seems to be a lot more complex than just go get.
There is no specific issue linked and I think this has always been the case and the initial merge PR was in the old repository so the history if the PR is lost.

You can try it by removing nocross=yes and trying to cross compile it ./xbps-src -a aarch64 pkg docker, but I'm certain that there are going to be some issues that need to be fixed.

How do we get this included in the default repos?

@jsumners If you can test and feedback #24640

[jsumners]

@sgn how would I test this? Fetch the PR to an x86_64 machine and attempt to build the package with -a aarch64?

[ericonr]

Exactly that.

[jsumners]

Okay. I will try to get to it over the weekend.

Yes, and use the binary to run docker on aarch64 machine. I'm not a heavy user of docker (I prefer podman, anyway).
