aarch64 is not supported and there’s a long way to get there
it doesn’t hurt building it but people should not expect that it works at all. Because it doesn’t.
Having the packages ready is a benefit of course, when we get to that we will have all the bricks ready and we can start on making it work. But I can’t say when that will happen.

Ok, I opened a RFE to track it for whenever it will be possible to work on it.
