Thanks for the kind words, m040601! And thanks for the tips here and on GitHub. Following up on these was pretty straightforward. I've updated arch=(any), added 32-bit ARM binaries for Linux, and published a tmux-fastcopy-bin AUR package. Enjoy!

Big fan of this plugin. I've been watching it on github for a long time. Nice to see that the developer is also an Arch User and provides this PKGBUILD.

I've only one request, if that's not asking for too much. Could you also provide a "tmux-fastcopy-bin" PKGBUILD ?

As a go language tool, tmux-fastcopy runs perfectly on Archlinux(arm) architectures in small systems as well Think of the Raspberry Pi 2, Zero, and many Arm chromebooks. I use them all.

I even think this:

arch=('x86_64' 'i686' 'armv7h' 'aarch64')

Could be simply:

arch= (any)

As I have seen in other go PKGBUILDS.

The thing is that, on these small and less powerfull systems, it's not practical to constantly download the 500MB go compiler, and build the tool on that tiny cpu's and memory.

You already have the binary releases (also for arm) on github, automatically managed with go-releaser. So I guess a "tmux-fastcopy-bin" package, would be something very easy to maintain, with very little extra work.

That's the way many "famous" go packages do it, for example "yay" and "yay-bin".

Thanks in advance.
