@xiota FYI, ALARM folks have told me that it is their understanding that while using the AUR to package primarily for other architectures is discouraged, it is OK for packages to mention them (so the arch=(x86_64 aarch64) line should be OK by policy):

> 17:46 <BrainDamage> arm-only packages in the aur aren't seen with good opinion because the aur is meant to be mostly about arch
> 17:47 <BrainDamage> but as long that arm is IN ADDITION, and it works with x86, it's perfectly tolerated
> 17:47 <BrainDamage> as in, I spoke with arch devs with this and that was the consensus

That said, @lu9dce -- even if this patch is rejected, do note that makepkg can be given --ignorearch to skip the architecture-compatibility check. If the package needs anything else in order to build there (I notice you force building with Clang?), you might consider forking the package and posting a copy on the ALARM forums or opening a PR at https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs

That is a different distro. As already stated, I won't add other architectures unless they work without any other changes.

I also will not create a separate ARM-specific package. Not only do I not want to maintain it, but packages have been deleted from AUR for primarily targeting other architectures.

@lu9dce I won't add other architectures unless they work without any other changes because Arch currently supports only x86_64.

Please edit your previous comment to move the alternate PKGBUILD text to a pastebin.

"With this, it will have support for ARM. The Telegram part needs to be disabled since it is too heavy for ARM. Maybe you could do something to detect if it is x86 or ARM, or create another package, nchat-git-arm. I hope this helps, tested on Raspberry Pi 3."

I've been having trouble with VCS related build flags, kept getting set -buildvcs=false. Finally fixed it with:
