Development on core packages and the distribution goes on in here.

I am really shocked about the end of archlinux on raspberry pi. It ran on my old pi1 for many years. I thought it was a reputable distro. Now i have to switch to debian, also on the newer pi3. I can't afford to manage multiple distros. Very sad. I wish you much success. Unfortunately i'm not good enough in os developmen to help you guys.

Just to be clear, Raspberry Pi support in general did NOT end. Only the original Raspberry Pi 1 and its derivatives with armv6 CPU are not supported anymore. Raspberry Pi 2 and later are all supported still and will be for a long time.

RPi Zero and Zero W are no longer supported as they are armv6.

@graysky,

I've tried building crosstool-ng from the AUR but it failed with:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
...
CC mconf.o
In file included from /usr/include/bits/sigcontext.h:30,
from /usr/include/signal.h:288,
from mconf.c:19:
/usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h:32:11: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ':' token
32 | __u64 sp;:

/usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h:77:2: error: unknown type name '__uint128_t'
77 | __uint128_t vregs[32];
| ^~~~~~~~~~~
make[3]: *** [Makefile:620: mconf.o] Error 1
...
')
linux-rpi-legacy and some other packages were built successfully but gcc and mpd also failed with the error: unknown type name '__uint128_t'

Please advise.

I have saved packages I had built from AUR a while back. They appear to be the same gcc version as the gcc in the archived repo people are using.

https://alaa.ad24.cz/packages/g/gcc/

I am also including the armv5 package.

Packages in the tarball:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'distccd-alarm-armv5-10.2.0.20200823-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
distccd-alarm-armv6h-10.2.0.20200823-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst')

md5sum:
d4f817f75ceba1a8e4480f0d5162b667 distcc-alarm-v5-v6_10.2.0-x86_64.tar
