Also this seems to be an unofficial build, so can we be sure that it will continue to receive updates in the future?

I own it, as its a unofficial build i will also make updates for it as its kinda odd for Arduino to make a ARM64 version for Mac while ignoring Linux.

OK, so why not then host the build scripts and release assets on a github repo?

I couldn't host the release assets on GitHub as when i tried a git pushing the repo with the main release assets, it just refused to do it (i was doing it on a private repo, will try on a public one and will reply to see if it does something)

If builds will only be periodic, consider the option to simply upload them manually.

As my Pi 5 (the Pi i used for compiling the IDE) isn't used heavy duty by another project, i could do like minor release versions when they come out (for example 2.3.3 > 2.3.4)

What are the chances of it going down? Is it self hosted?

It is just a Linux based web server hosted on Linode with Caddy installed as the web server.

And still nope, i cannot host the release assets on GitHub even when the repo is public.

I am going to close this. Not interested in another porting project and still waiting on Arduino to show that they care to maintain their IDE project. There has not been a commit since February and they are running an old version of electron with security issues.

This has already been requested of upstream by many many users. It is trivial for them to implement. Please add your request to the others there. If you are able to help make any modifications to their build CI to build arm64 linux releases then by all means help them out with a PR.
