What is impressive here is the availability of this feature in #JuliaLang #JuliaPackaging - when compared with competing programming environments:
* #dotnet #NuGet only has crude runtimes like #x64, and #arm64.
* #python #PyPI wheels seems equally constrained with #manylinux supporting plain, e.g., #x86_64, and #aarch64.
Not to mention #BinaryBuilder in general with support for e.g. #musl, #armv7l, #bsd and #riscv64
Whatever the number of applications of #microarchitecture specific binaries.
Ages since I updated tvheadend which runs trouble free on Odroid XU4 in the loft. Turns out “ages” is ~2 years. In the interim, docker container from linuxserver.io I use no longer supports 32-bit arm. Have work to do to run most recent image they built.
I expect tvheadend.org will supply #armv7l binaries when they go to 4.4 or I can just compile one again. A bit of a pain for more casual folks who just stuck it on boards like the xu4 or more commonly older raspberry pi devices.
