[00:09:52] <bschnei> I'm not a go expert but I think it natively support cross compilation so when we build on aarch64 it works because it cross compiles the package for amd64. So what we have packaged unknowingly is the binary meant for amd64.
[00:15:30] <alkersan> yes, go builds any targets from any hosts
[00:16:37] <fermino> Pretty easy to fix, I'll submit a patch tonight or maybe tomorrow
[00:16:48] <fermino> +1 for go for supporting cross building just like that!

[00:18:56] <alkersan> fermino are you assembling a arm64 build machine ?
[00:19:19] <fermino> Yups

[00:20:14] <fermino> Nothing too crazy really, just a netcup VM. I might move it to my 8gig pi4 when I stop messing around with it :)
[00:25:08] <alkersan> in this case with gitlab-runner - how it ideally should be handled? Is it Arch's main package that should be updated to stop being strictly x86 specific? Or a fork should be made for ports package ?
[00:29:23] <alkersan> like, in the official PKGBUILDs today - is it acceptable to process or even menion $CARCH ?

[00:33:56] <fermino> "As long as the architecture is not an officially supported architecture, the PKGBUILD arch array is not updated to contain the port architecture string. The build tooling should allow building for a specific architecture, while ignoring the particular architectures set for a given PKGBUILD."
[00:34:46] <fermino> I'm guess a patch that doesn't update the arch could go through...

[01:38:47] <fermino> Ohh, didn't know about that, thanks!
