Notes on Arch Linux ARM

devtools

Install devtools-archlinuxcn, devtools-cn-git and devtools-arm-git

alarm/devtools-alarm is broken because MAKEFLAGS and PACKAGER aren’t passed in. (It also doesn’t ship extra-aarch64-build)

extra/devtools is broken because it cannot handle alarm mirror URL.

Building for a different arch

ArchLinuxARM does not use the same file for any packages across different architectures. This means that chroot build for a different architecture (e.g. building armv7h on aarch64) may not work due to package signature mismatch.
