ci: add aarch64 (arm64) Linux release build#556
Merged
Conversation
Build the aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu target natively on GitHub's free ubuntu-24.04-arm runner. The existing gtk4-rs container is amd64-only, so aarch64 runs without a container and installs GTK4/libadwaita via apt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

LGTM - Claude did a good job 🤣 But I am not into this workflow stuff - so another 👁️ by @RobertMueller2 would be good. |

yeah, I'll have a look soonish. Should even be able to try the generated package on a chromebook ;) EDIT: which has a Bookworm Debian, which is too old (libc6 version). Need to figure out a different way to test the package. Or upgrade the Debian version, but not today. |

What
Adds an aarch64 (arm64) Linux target to the
releaseworkflow, so each release also shipssatty-aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gzalongside the existing x86_64 tarball.Why
There are currently no prebuilt aarch64 binaries. Users on arm64 Linux (Asahi/Apple Silicon Linux, Raspberry Pi, Pinebook Pro, arm64 servers/VMs, etc.) have to build from source, which is slow on these devices.
How
The existing build runs inside
ghcr.io/gtk-rs/gtk4-rs/gtk4:latest, which is amd64-only, so it can't simply be reused on an arm64 runner. Instead the aarch64 leg:ubuntu-24.04-armrunner (no cross-compilation),container: ${{ matrix.container }}; empty string = run on host),apt(libgtk-4-dev libadwaita-1-dev) instead of the Fedora container'syum.The x86_64 leg is unchanged. Diff is +16/-5.
Tested
Built green on a fork — both legs and the flatpak job succeed, and the aarch64 tarball is produced and attached to the release:
https://github.com/MAY4VFX/Satty/releases/tag/v0.99.0
The resulting binary runs correctly on a Pinebook Pro (RK3399, ARMv8.0) under Debian 13 / niri.
