Bootstrap Tools

Docker Images

Currently being built using qemu

• alpine-builder (Completed)
• debian-builder (Completed)
• ubuntu-builder (Completed)
• ubuntu-systemd-base (Completed)

Packages

• c/c++/etc
  Have to test each one by one as many lack support for riscv64

• go
  Requires no changes & most packages build fine

• rust
  rustup doesn't work : https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/blob/master/community/rustup/APKBUILD#L8
  Alternative is using only cargo, and alpine's musl as target.

• Zig
  It's not available in alpine: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/blob/master/community/zig/APKBUILD#L9
  Requires manual Install: https://github.com/pkgforge/devscripts/blob/main/Linux/install_zig.sh

Package Providers

• ppkg (fully-supported)
• nix (mostly-supported)
• ix (Partially supported)

• Add support for more architectures stal-ix/ix#737

I believe this will make riscv way more accessible and this repo usage will skyrocket as there are not many packages for riscv :)
