I got Virtualmin working on ARM64 (Ampere)

[johnhe]

Any package with an arch label such as x86_64 is an architecture specific package, even when it does not contain architecure specific code.

Below, from October 2006, is odd on two counts:

1. Likely a package with no architecure specific binary code
2. x86_64 is not compatible with i386

Virtualmin for Dedian

Just to add to this thread for anyone subscribed: Debian Sarge (3.1) on i386 architecture is officially supported by the Virtualmin Professional install.sh. x86_64 arch packages are building now and will be available in the next day or so, which will also be announced on the news sections of the site. Ubuntu is also being tested today and I expect it to be available tomorrow or by the weekend at the latest. Another news post will announce that support.

So again, the same question.

Why is Virtualmin making architecure specific packages when they do not include architecure specific binary code in the package?

Please don’t interpret this as an attack. I have great admiration for Virtualmin. The broad approach of Virtualmin is fantastic and deserves far more recognition. I have looked in detail at internal coding and have had a few fixes accepted in GitHub. I am happy to state publicly Virtualmin code is sound and solid.
