Next steps for non-x86 contributions?
by Fermín Olaiz 04 Aug '25

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right mailing list, please let me know if I'm missing anything :) I've been doing some reading around the Arch Linux Ports RFC [1] and I must say I'm super excited about this idea. I would like to help but I'm a bit lost as to where to go. Last thing I found was Levente's mail in arch-dev-public [2], and if anything I think I could be helpful with anything related to the tooling and underlying infrastructure. I would eventually like to apply for maintainership status and help with packaging but I don't see myself with enough experience yet. Is there anyone coordinating those efforts? What would be some areas where help would be needed? Anyways, thank you all for bringing the distro forward! Fermín Olaiz.
