Working on building a universal debian/ubuntu repository for one of my favorite packages.
Already got all the latest (and not so latest) x86-64 compiled, now I'm on my way through arm64. Planning on i386, armhf, armel, and once I dig up my raspberry pi zero w I want all the relevant packages for raspbian too.
Next step for me after that will be to forward port the code changes I needed to the latest and fix up major stuff in the lintian warnings such as requiring PIE and the like.
If things work out, I'll have to start looking at different distro families too, such as arch, redhat, centos, and gentoo.
But given that my empire of dirt is all old x86-64 machines, the process of building all these other cpu architectures is slow and fiddly!
