Hi Jim,
I need aarch64 builds for the following packages as we rely on them for various testing.
- iperf2
- iperf3
- iozone
- nginx
- xdd
Please see if you can incorporate them in 7.2 aarch64 distro.
RHELSA is released by Red Hat with a certain set of packages that are deemed suitable by Red Hat. CentOS takes these packages and rebuilds them. I checked and Red Hat released:
iperf 2.x - in RHEL 6, but not RHEL 7 iperf 3 - never iozone - never nginx - never xdd - never
If you need packages on top of the ones provided by Red Hat, then you have to use a separate channel called EPEL:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
EPEL is a public project which anyone can build packages for. You just have to apply to become a packager and start submitting packages.
Having said that, there is not yet an aarch64 channel in EPEL, but there is work going on to add this.
