Julia 64bit ARM Binary Version is missing for Julia 1.0.0

[jamitzky]

The arm version of julia 1.0.0 does not run on my android device because it needs a 64bit-version. Julia 0.6.2 worked fine. Why did you drop the 64bit Version?
I was using termux and proot/fedora to provide a container for it on android 6.0.

I believe AArch64 support is currently blocked on #27174, and the ARM/AArch64 port is currently lacking a maintainer.

It was not a conscious choice. As Valentin said, it was due to technical limitations in supporting AArch64. Hopefully we'll be able to get that fixed and provide AArch64 binaries again in the future.

FYI: In the mean-time, the README is no longer correct, only about what we want, with it only correct for pre-1.0): "Julia fully supports ARMv8 (AArch64) processors, and supports ARMv7 and ARMv6 (AArch32) with some caveats."

Also in the meantime https://julialang.org/downloads/oldreleases.html should maybe have ARM binaries for 0.6, not only 0.5?

There's a 1.0.3 aarch64 binary now, so this could be closed.

Arm binaries are still an issue. But at least we have 1.0 binaries.
