Hello,
With reference to [1], are those android-$arch-$package packages allowed in AUR? [2]
Packages in the AUR should be useful on Arch Linux, which is currently an x86_64-only distribution.
It seems that those packages are for Android (not useful on Arch), which may not meet the above requirement.
Best regards, gnlrdrvo

Jt seems my previous reply[1] was not seen, so I added all posters in this thread in the to-list of this message. A substantial amount of arch users build programs for other architectures on their archlinux systems . This is called cross compiling . https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Cross-compiling_tools_package_guidelines shows how to setup an archlinux system to do that. The mingw packages are used to build windows programs on archlinux systems . I looked at a few of the android-* packages and they appear to have a similar purpose. TL;DR : the mingw and android packages are useful on an archlinux system and acceptable for AUR. Lone_Wolf [1] https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-general@lists.archlinux.org/me...
