Status of Arch Linux Arm

[winksaville]

Yesterday I tried following the "AArch64 Installation" at https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/broadcom/raspberry-pi-4 and the device would not boot. I did eventually get it to boot, but it was arduous.

In addition, I also looked at Packages, https://archlinuxarm.org/packages, and the initial link from that base page such as this link to git, https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/aarch64/git, works. But none of the links on the right side of the page work for any package I tried would work. Below after -> "in quotes" is what happened:

* Source Files: https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/aarch64/git/files -> "An internal error occured"
* View Changes: https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/aarch64/git/log -> "An internal error occured"
* Download: http://mirror.archlinuxarm.org/aarch64/extra/git-2.48.1-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz -> "404 Not Found"

Is there something I can do to help or maybe I am I doing something stupid?

It's probably related to a python build that the developers are working on. A lot of packages won't be able to download from the website because the mirrors aren't synced yet. They won't sync until python and all packages dependent on python are done compiling, to prevent breakage. There's no ETA, but it's been a few weeks now, so I can't imagine it would be too terribly much longer to wait it out.

Txs for the info, is there any way to track the progress and maybe even help?
