Still WIP.

FWIW I was just waiting for Github Actions to have public ARM runners.

Otherwise I've been using it on my ARM laptop already.

FWIW I was just waiting for Github Actions to have public ARM runners.

I've been toying locally with qemu-user-static + podman build --platform support, and it works just fine out of the box.
We need a way to produce e.g. armv7 32bit images or risc-v, etc. so I was looking into the qemu solution, as a general thing. Since we don't rebuild images so often I think increased build times are not a concern.

Otherwise I've been using it on my ARM laptop already.

Great to hear!

Sounds great!

We still need the build to consistently succeed, but all sounds good to me.

Build wkdev-sdk for non-amd64 6architectures.
f06db83 
Podman allows to build multi-architecture OCI images, that combine e.g.
amd64 images + arm64 + ... in one image. Combined with qemu, one can
easily build images for foreign architectures from amd64 hosts.

Use that to extend wkdev-sdk to 'linux/arm/v7', besides the existing
'linux/amd64' support. Extend the GitHub workflow to produce
multi-architecture images. Let's see where this goes :-)

wkdev_sdk: Disable apt cache during build

This fails in the cross-arch builds unfortunately.

I believe this next build will pass 🤞

But the fact this goes from 40 minutes to 3 hours sucks... I'd like to move it to a matrix to parallelize it. It is possible to create a manifest that points to other images so it won't appear any different even if deployed separate.

This ended up getting reverted as the deploy step didn't work.

podman save -> podman load seemed to lose some contents along the way perhaps.
