Re: Would like to see arm support

Hyperbola should support the ARM architecture once EOMA68 is certified.

Libre Tea Computer Card

An EOMA68-compatible computer card with an Allwinner A20 dual core processor, 2 GB of RAM, and 8 GB of NAND flash pre-installed with the Parabola GNU/Linux-libre operating system. We expect the Libre Tea Computer Card to receive the Free Software Foundation's Respects Your Freedom (RYF) certification before the first units ship.

I would definitely start supporting it now as Parabola gnu/linux is already in the process of porting it. Even if its only an option for white hole as a start.

Actually it may already support it. That is why I say support it in stable by december, etc... if possible of course...

Just an important side note, there is no Parabola GNU/Linux-libre OpenRC Edition for the ARM architecture.

That my friend is a technicality...  yes what you said is true.

BUT with one important unrelated truth. There is a systemd version of parabola for the arm architecture. Not the best, but migration from that to this would be wonderful. 

Seriously...
