Please provide linux/arm64 Binary Release
New Issue Checklist
- [x] Updated SwiftLint to the latest version
- [x] I searched for existing GitHub issues
Describe the bug
Since v5.6 swift releases arm64 binaries (aarch64) for Linux/Ubuntu. The swiftlint binary for Linux only runs on amd64. For arm, I have to build swiftlint myself. This is of course possible, but it would be great if arm64 binaries would be provided. This would simplify the integration into arm-based docker containers and Github Actions.
Environment
- SwiftLint version (run
swiftlint versionto be sure)? 5.7.1 - Installation method used (Homebrew, CocoaPods, building from source, etc)? building from source
Yes this would be great, and we're already using Docker Buildx so in theory it should be possible to update our CI to run that.
I tried a few months ago but the Swift 5.6.x Docker images didn't come in arm64 flavours at the time. Now I think the Swift 5.7 images do have an arm64 variant. I'll give this another shot.
Great, thanks for already working on this. :-)
To clarify, I'm primarily interested in an arm64 binary published on https://github.com/realm/SwiftLint/releases which I can integrate into my own docker container.

The Linux binaries in the release assets are generated in Docker, so that’s the first step.
Unfortunately it looks like with QEMU and the default GitHub Actions machines they’re not beefy enough to finish building both architectures, and the CI job appears to be getting killed.
I managed to fix it by manually building an artifactbundle as described here https://github.com/airbnb/swift/discussions/197#discussioncomment-4109195
Would it be possible for swiftlint to provide this in the future?
Sorry to hijack/bump. I noticed newer versions also don't have the Linux x86 binary. (We use SwiftLint in GitHub actions with the Linux runner as it's a lot cheaper than macOS runners.)
Is there anything I can help with?
If it's too complicated for the foreseeable future, may I suggest building the Linux versions in a separate GitHub action?

I missed a manual step when releasing 0.50.1, the x86 Linux binary is up now: https://github.com/realm/SwiftLint/releases/tag/0.50.1
