We've been asked, in the past, about alternate architectures for years and if you have been paying attention to the periphery you may have noticed things like this....

http://mirror1-newyork.clearos.com/clearos/7/updates/aarch64/RPMS/

and this...

http://koji.clearos.com/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2467

Here is the list of packages that are still failing to build:

clearos (fail)
--------------
gconsole - Package dbus-glib-1 was not found
samba - No Package found for libcmocka-devel, python-iso8601
security-audit-aide - No Package found for prelink

contribs (fail)
---------------
BackupPC - No Package found for /usr/bin/nmblookup, /usr/bin/smbclient, perl-generators
domoticz - No Package found for libquadmath-devel

It is worth noting that the kernel we will need to use is the straight up CentOS kernel which is 4.x-based and not 3.x based. This was done to resolve dependencies in an architecture where upstream from CentOS, the vendor doesn't produce files nor patches to resolve aarch64 problems. While in Alpha, we will use upstream and not have a local branch (still in development). For the meantime there is no plan for this for ClearOS Business. If there is a business case, we will look for partners and interested parties to demonstrate the need and then will roll in our verified updates and internal QA process. For now, this is a community only based initiative.

We will work to assemble some image file in order to put this all together so that users can download a packaged version.

You may be asking about other architectures, we now have better abilities to do this so if we have enough community sponsorship, we can bring those other architectures on board with our updated build processes.
