distributions: N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-arm64/Packages' as repository 'https://deb.nodesource.com/node_6.x xenial InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'arm64'
- Version: v4.2.6

I’m looking to install Node v6 on ARMv8 (aarch64) on Ubuntu. I see at https://nodejs.org/en/download/current/ that there’s a version compiled at 6.9.1. So far so good.
However, when installing from apt-get I see
N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-arm64/Packages' as repository 'https://deb.nodesource.com/node_6.x xenial InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'arm64'
Is there some other repository I can go to to get node@6 on xenial? thanks.

I’ll add my vote for
arm64support@mmoll You just did. No promises, and we don’t currently have
arm64support planned, but we are always paying attention to what people are asking for. Thanks for letting us know!Hello everybody here - we’ve added support for
arm64in our main repository as of today. You can read the announcement here. Enjoy.Hmm… making some noise led to the wrong result 😉
Anyway: if people are happy wasting memory for questionable performance increases I’m happy with. Anyone stumbling accross this and concerned about memory constraints: just follow the 32-bit Armbian for NEO 2 reference above. And also just as reference an example how to deal with NodeJS on ARMv6-ARMv8: https://github.com/ThomasKaiser/install-iot-stuff/commit/b223b2711e4b5665b966ed0deaa300d0fe160b2a
BTW: Funny that only Rasperries are mentioned in your
arm64announcement: RPi 3 might be the only 64-bit capable ARM SoC condemned to run with 32-bit ARMv6 code forever (therefore having exactly no 64-bit memory constraints problems) 😉
