Hello
Can you tell me if CentOS 7 Armv7hl is maintained, and follow the same versions of packages as x86_64 versions?
What is the end of life date for this version?
Maybe it's better to use aarch64?
Regards

Yes.

I don't know for sure, but AFAIK it is expected to follow the usual CentOS support cycle.

If your hardware is ARMv8, then it is definitely better to use aarch64. Some ARMv8 CPUs don't even include ARMv7 support (so armv7hl binaries won't work). ARMv7 instruction support is optional rather than mandatory in ARMv8 spec, IIRC.

the arm7 repos are getting updates, in sync with the x86_64 tree, for the rpms built/ported already

the aarch64 distro is a more complete setup, yes - but you cant use aarch64 distro on a armv7 hardware piece, so your choice in distro arch will largely be driven by the hardware choices you make.
