I wrote a short how-to for managing ARM packages from an x86_64 system. Maybe that's of interest for anybody here. This approach does not work for all packages, but most of the packages that I tested could be built that way.
It's actually a combination of two tools:
- crema is a tool to manage custom package repos
- armutils is a tools to build and utilize ARM chroots on x86_64 hosts.
The approach can also be combined with distributed builds (distcc).
