DistroAV
[RFE]: ARM support
Is there an existing issue or feature request for this?
- [x] I have searched and did not find a similar issue or feature request
This feature does not exists on the latest available release of DistroAV nor in the upcoming PR?
- [x] I have checked and this is not available on the latest DistroAV version nor planned
Explain the context or expected use-case of the feature request (problem, new NDI feature, ...)
I have a Linux (Debian) computer that has an ARM processor, and when I try to install DistroAV, it displays an error:
dpkg: error processing archive distroav-6.0.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.deb (--install):
package architecture (amd64) does not match system (arm64)
Errors were encountered while processing:
distroav-6.0.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.deb
Solution Idea or Feature description
The solution would be to create a version for ARM processors.
How this feature can benefit the community?
Adding this feature would increase the number of users who can use the plugin.
How could this feature be implemented (fac.)?
No response
Do you see any potential limitation/drawback?
No response
Are you able to contribute to this feature?
I can test it.
You need to compile it I believe. Primary package releases are for x86-64 architectures except MacOs which they have for intel and their M series I believe.
@trouffman Could you confirm?
Why not just add package compilation for ARM64 to GitHub Workflows?
Releases need to be tested by the members on the team. I don't have any ARM64 devices aside from Android ones. Hence I can't test it. Why release something that cannot be tested?
Indeed there seems there is no releases for the ARM Linux version.
While I (personally) agree this could be a good to have, please consider the following :
-
we have using the obs plugin template - therefore are bound by the capabilities provided
-
testing capabilities are limites
Unless the obs plugin support this option, we Mighty not have the ressources to get this done
