Deb for aarch64

Hi, is there a possibility that jami deb will be build for aarch64 at some point or will the official packages always be only build for amd64?

Jami (Flatpak) on Flathub states:

Available Architectures
aarch64, x86_64

Does Jami (Flatpak) from Flathub work?

Thank you

Does this answer means a “no” to the original question? I want a native debian package for mobian. Never a flatpak.

I can compile jami-daemon but not the client-qt. This is enough for what I want to try. But I wanted to know if I had to plan for a permanent pipeline to build the jamid myself or in some future there will be an official deb package…

I plan to write a minimal dbus client using jamictrl.py to be used on a pinephone and on Alpine boxes And will try to start with voice calls. Currently reading as many doc as possible on the topic…

Yes.


Qt seems to have recently supported AArch64, also known as ARM64, architectures on GNU/Linux distributions.

LibreOffice 25.2 does not have official support for a DEB installation file for the AArch64 architecture on Linux, as shown in the following screenshot from the Download LibreOffice page.

However, LibreOffice 25.8 has official support for a DEB installation file for the AArch64 architecture on Linux, as shown in the following screenshot from the Download LibreOffice page.

There may be code pointers in the LibreOffice code repository.

To fund the Jami developers to support an official DEB installation file for the AArch64 architecture on Linux, please send your request to the contact@jami.net email address.

Thank you

I just received the ARMv8 workstation I ordered to be able to natively build stuff for aarch64.

It has 12 CPU cores, 64 GB of RAM and 1TB SSD.

It runs mainstream Debian 12.

I can hook it to a public IPv4 (low bandwidth but unmetered).

It is intended to be used as builder box in some CI/CD pipelines. For now, I plan to build jami-daemon and (if possible) jami-client-qt on a weekly basis.

Maybe I can offer usage of the box as builder for the jami project?

I suppose I can upgrade to Debian 13 if needed…

PS: build of jami-daemon from scratch: cmake=5m/21m ; make=3m/34m

PS2: review.jami.net:443 seems down therefore I cannot try to build jami-client-qt :sob:

PS3: I would love to have “official” build scripts instead of my home made ones to be as close as mainline as possible…
