Sabaki for `aarch64` Linux devices

[gsobell]

As I understand it, it is possible to build Electron apps for Linux Arm platforms. Would it be within the scope of the project to also include a AppImage targeted for those systems in future releases? I think this could open up Sabaki to quite a few tinkerers, on Raspberry Pi, pine64 and other boards, in addition to those who use Arm systems as daily drivers.

Are you on Arch Linux, by any chance? You might want to try out the PKGBUILD, I suspect it'll probably work on aarch64 if Electron does.

[gsobell]

It failed repeatedly to build from the AUR, but succeeded building manually with $ npm run build (on a Pinebook Pro).

[apetresc]

What error did you get when running the PKGBUILD?

[gsobell]

I think the problem is:

+ linux-arm64-unpacked
- linux-unpacked'

The folder my AUR helper looks for in package() does not exist.

Indeed that does seem to be the problem. Next time I'm on my Arch machine I'll try to update the PKGBUILD there to accept linux-arm64-unpacked as an output directory, that oughta do it. I'll ping you when it's pushed to the AUR.
