@mengzhuo : before any changes to the code base are made, we generally ask that issues are created to discuss changes to the product including extending official support to new distributions and CPU architectures. The greatest challenge is what level of support can we offer given the lack of automation support for 64bit RISC-V in GitHub Actions; see actions/runner#2157 for more info. |
Add Linux binary release targets for loong64, ppc64le, and riscv64, these are architectures that are available both as desktop and server products. It is also reasonable to assume that they are used by developers as host machines, where this CLI tool would have been used. This commit is made with the understanding that GitHub has no interest in limiting usage of hardware of architectures other than x86, x86-64, Arm32, and Arm64. Given that GitHub CLI is largely an architecture-agnostic tool (at least with its built-in functionalities), that adding binary releases is rather trivial with GoReleaser, that Golang support is quite mature (and actively maintained) for the three architectures above, and that i386 is still a supported architecture where host machines of strictly 32-bit x86 architecture are likely even more obscure, so add them.
