packages on Alpine - hiimtye - 11-14-2020
does anyone know why certain packages aren't compiled for aarch64 but are for eg. armv7? I want to install rofi, but it's only available on armv7. there's no place to comment or feature request on the alpine packages site, the only option is to flag out of date, which the packages aren't.

You could inquire/request on git. That's where a lot of projects are hosted before being incorporated into a distro.
