Hi,
We are thinking about adding ARM64 based devices to our systems.
As we are using CentOS almost everywhere and have quite a number of
inhouse RPM packages in our company repository, we'd like to enhance it
and add ARM64 alias aarch64 to it.
What I'm still wondering is how to run the build environment for the new
arch?
How does the CentOS project do it, run ARM64 hardware or using emulation?
Or to ask differently, is it an option to run the build system emulated
with QEMU?
CentOS and Fedora use ARM64 hardware to do their builds. I think at one point it was being done with emulation but it was slower than expected.. [if you have only one thing it is probably not a large issue but if you have a chain of items to build continuously...] For hardware that works well in an 'enterprise' environment, I can recommend the Ampere systems that we are using in Fedora.
Thanks for any insights?
Simon
