I'm already doing that for those platforms (except for linux-aarch64, which I had missed; thanks for pointing that out), but the Build Farm also builds binaries for the following platforms
https://build.contextgarden.net/dl/luametatex/work/armhf-linux/
that machine is fragile (was a rpi 32)
https://build.contextgarden.net/dl/luametatex/work/i386-freebsd/
idem, hard to update etc (somehow goes off line randomly
https://build.contextgarden.net/dl/luametatex/work/i386-solaris/ https://build.contextgarden.net/dl/luametatex/work/x86_64-solaris/
obsolete stuff, probably unuseable for tex anyway
but I'm not able to find the corresponding zips on lmtx.pragma-ade.nl. I've tried downloading the following files without success (although it could just be that I'm using the wrong names):
http://lmtx.pragma-ade.nl/install-lmtx/context-linux-armhf.zip http://lmtx.pragma-ade.nl/install-lmtx/context-freebsd.zip http://lmtx.pragma-ade.nl/install-lmtx/context-solaris-intel.zip
If you think that me copying the latest binaries from "work" will be an issue for those platforms, could you please either tag a new LuaMetaTeX release before copying it into ConTeXt (so that I can download the binaries from "main"), add those platforms to mtx-install.lua and/or lmtx.pragma-ade.nl (so that I can download the binaries with "mtxrun --script install --platform=$PLATFORM --update"), or copy the binaries for those platforms to some other URL that I can download them from?
we only tag a major update (so normally tex live code freeze, maybe around the meeting) .. i don't want a git repos with intermediate crap (too much noise)
All of those options will work equally well for me, so I have no problem working with whichever one is the easiest for you. Or if you think that copying the latest binaries from "work" will be okay, I can also continue doing that.
juist stick with the major platforms (i knwo that soem context users on e.g. moving targets like openbsd just compile themselves as it relates to specific version of the OS we used to generate a few) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
