Add natives for ARM64 to Wildfly distro
by Julien Faye
Hello Wildfly devs,
At my job we want to move to Linux ARM64 machines for our deployments.
The issue we see is that the current (22.0.1) distribution does not include
native binaries for linux-aarch64 architecture :-/
$ find ./ -name "*.so"
./modules/system/layers/base/org/apache/activemq/artemis/journal/main/lib/linux-i686/libartemis-native-32.so
./modules/system/layers/base/org/apache/activemq/artemis/journal/main/lib/linux-x86_64/libartemis-native-64.so
./modules/system/layers/base/org/wildfly/openssl/main/lib/linux-x86_64/libwfssl.so
./modules/system/layers/base/org/wildfly/openssl/main/lib/linux-s390x/libwfssl.so
I've found https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFLY-13302 (and
https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFSSL-32 and
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-2705) but those are opened
almost an year ago and it is not clear whether they will be resolved any
time soon.
As far as I understand your recommendation is to build the binaries
locally. This is OK but it adds some extra complexity to the deployment and
upgrade processes.
Since ARM64 becomes more and more popular for server side deployments I
would like to ask you whether those tickets could be resolved in near
future ?
Thank you!
Regards,
Julien

handled is the removal of the PicketBox vault integration.
