Amethyst v1.13.1 (and every prior release) shipped only linux-x64 desktop
binaries — .deb, .rpm, .AppImage, .flatpak, .tar.gz. Same for the amy
CLI and geode relay. Users on aarch64 hardware (Pinebook, Ampere
Altra, Raspberry Pi 4/5, AWS Graviton, arm64 servers, arm64 Chromebooks
running crostini, etc.) can't install any of them.
This teaches the release matrix about arm64:
- Add `ubuntu-24.04-arm` legs to build-desktop, build-cli, and
build-geode. This is a standard, free public-repo GitHub-hosted
runner (4 CPU / 16 GB / 14 GB SSD / arm64) since early 2025. No
cross-compilation: jpackage / jlink / Compose Multiplatform 1.11
all produce host-native artifacts.
- Fetch the matching `appimagetool-<arch>.AppImage` from the same
1.9.0 release with an arch-specific SHA256 pin. `APPIMAGETOOL_URL`
becomes `APPIMAGETOOL_VERSION` + per-arch SHA256 env vars.
- Parametrize the portable tarball/zip filename by `matrix.arch`
(`amethyst-desktop-<ver>-linux-arm64.tar.gz` is now produced).
- Parametrize the Flatpak bundle filename and rewrite the manifest's
`GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH` from `x86_64-linux-gnu` to
`aarch64-linux-gnu` on the arm64 leg. The Flathub-submission manifest
(`desktopApp/packaging/flatpak/flathub/`) still gates on
`only-arches: x86_64` — flipping that to include aarch64 is a
follow-up once a Flathub aarch64 build has been validated end-to-end.
- Make the `createReleaseAppImage` gradle task pick its host arch from
`System.getProperty("os.arch")` (amd64/x86_64 → `x86_64`, aarch64/
arm64 → `aarch64`). Same task, same command, drives both legs.
- Fix `desktopApp/packaging/appimage/AppRun` to compute the multiarch
library path from `uname -m` at launch time instead of hard-coding
`x86_64-linux-gnu`. One script works in both AppImages on the target
machine.
- Extend the desktop smoke test to run the release .deb build + launch
probe on `ubuntu-24.04-arm` too, so arch-specific ProGuard/jlink
breakage (missing native lib, arch-specific reflection root) is
caught at PR time.
- Update BUILDING.md and scripts/asset-name.sh docs with the new
arm64 asset names.
Follow-up assets published for the next tag push (v1.13.2+):
- amethyst-desktop-<ver>-linux-arm64.{deb,rpm,AppImage,flatpak,tar.gz}
- amy-<ver>-linux-arm64.{deb,rpm,tar.gz}
- geode-<ver>-linux-arm64.{deb,rpm,tar.gz}
Verification (local, before submitting):
- `python3 -c 'import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open(".github/workflows/create-release.yml"))'` — parses clean
- `bash -n scripts/asset-name.sh desktopApp/packaging/appimage/AppRun` — parses clean
- `actionlint` — reports only pre-existing shellcheck style hints; no new errors
- Confirmed `linuxdeploy-aarch64.AppImage` and
`appimagetool-aarch64.AppImage` exist under the same pinned release
tags used for x86_64; SHA256 recorded from a fresh download.
Not addressed (out of scope for this PR):
- Homebrew / winget bump workflows (`bump-homebrew*.yml`,
`bump-winget.yml`) — those consume the assets by name; the new arm64
filenames don't change any x86_64 name they already reference.
- Android arm64 continues to ship as before (already had it).
