Upcoming ARM64 Linux Github Actions Runners

[theofficialgman]

Cool ideas?

For building our apps using automation in github repos as opposed to building them manually on local installs.

This is a tracking issue for any progress on upstream adding this service to github (and to create more buzz at the upstream issue) actions/runner-images#5631

Would it be worth looking into constructing a semi-automatic buildscript system running on a local pi? I can imagine a script similar to the current github actions, but it runs locally on one of our pies and uploads updated program binaries to pi-apps-coders/files when necessary.

While we could of course do that, I am thinking more on the line of upstreaming arm64 automated building to the applications that already have actions based automated building for x86.

That's exciting.
