packages on Alpine

[hiimtye]

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 there's no place to comment or feature request on the alpine packages site, the only option is to flag out of date, which the packages aren't.

Because no one has done it yet. You could inquire/request on git. That's where a lot of projects are hosted before being incorporated into a distro.

git was the answer, I found the APKBUILD on git, which basically boils down to the z3 package not compiling for aarch64
