[aur-general] architecture question
Hi, I recently got several requests to include armv7h in arch() of my PKGBUILDs, is it okay to do it even though it's not officially supported? Cheers, Kuba
I think you perhaps not to do so.

ArchLinux ARM Edition seems not to use AUR?Or actually ArchLinux ARM also
use the same AUR as i686/x86_64 ?

Packages in the AUR are unsupported by definition. I can't see anyone reaching for their pitchforks over the inclusion of an architecture in someone's arch array. I'd feel a bit uncomfortable adding an architecture that I can't test myself, but if endusers say it works, then that's good enough in my opinion.

I shall do that then, thank you all for your opinions!

They also use the aur packages afaik.

If you feel uncomfortable with including an unoffical architecture, you could talk to upstream if they do anything platform specific and if not just use "any" in the arch() array. But I agree with wormzy tykashi and would just include armv*.

Compiling is platform specific. Do not use 'any' for packages which include compiled code.
But I agree with wormzy tykashi and would just include armv*.
