Yes. No. Maybe. You answer, and I'll go with whatever you decide.

I cannot speak for Stuart but I think it would be a big help to the Aarch64 port. I have the time, am willing to do the work, but I do not have the finances to purchase a Raspberry Pi 5. At least not for several months. Fixed income and all that.
Thanks for the offer.

It isn't an offer. It is a question. Your efforts to provide Raspberry Pi support to Slackware ARM were useful. Now the goal is for the community to provide hardware model contributions directly.

Thanks for the question.

I know my efforts were, and still are, useful to this day. I love doing what I do with the SARPi Project and how I do it. Not wanting a prestigious title or recognition. Or to embrace any delusions of grandeur that it means anything. I'm fine where I am, for now.

You're doing a great job for the Slackware ARM community. Keep on doing it. Well done you.

I am not disputing your efforts or how useful sarpi is/was/will be. I have been respectfully sharing my opinion. There is a build script that takes forked or modified kernel source and puts it all into Slackware packages for consumption. This includes the Raspberry Pi (and other boards) kernel and other bits.

My earlier comments are not solely directed at you, or a criticism of your work. My intention is to encourage others to contribute to Slackware. There is nothing prestigious. Recognition is not required. If not interested, ignore. I apologize for any frustrations.

With that said, Sarpi is still useful for those who do not wish to build a Raspberry Pi foundation kernel on their own. However, occasionally there are experimental packages generated for Raspberry Pi consumption, found here: slackwarearm/experimental/slackwareaarch64-current/rpi-kernel-fork/

I'm far too busy or unconcerned for this Brent. If you want to rally support for Slackware ARM perhaps making your own thread would be a prositive first step. We're going way off topic here.
