.deb package for Linux ARM (Raspberry Pi)

Feature description

Please provide a .deb package for Linux ARM (Raspberry Pi).

Compiling from source code seems to throw issues (at least on my machine) for Raspberry Pis running Ubuntu Server.

[ldennington]

Have you tried the .NET tool approach? I don't have a Raspberry Pi, but I've spoken with others who have successfully installed with that method.

[jlanssie]

I tried the .net tool and building source but neither worked for me.

[ldennington]

What model of Raspberry Pi are you using? What is your Ubuntu Server version?

[jlanssie]

Raspberry Pi 4 - Ubuntu Server 22.04

[ldennington]

And what's the error you're seeing when you try to install as a .NET tool?

[ldennington]

Also, can you please provide the information requested in the issue template? That will help us better diagnose what is happening.

I agree that a .deb package would be really nice. But I was able to get git-credential-manager installed on a Raspberry Pi 4 with 64-bit Raspbian Lite with the following steps:

Download the latest .NET 6.0 SDK for Arm64 from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0

mkdir -vp $HOME/.dotnet
tar zxvf dotnet-sdk-6.*-linux-arm64.tar.gz -C $HOME/.dotnet
echo 'export DOTNET_ROOT=$HOME/.dotnet' >>~/.profile
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.dotnet:$HOME/.dotnet/tools' >>~/.profile
echo 'export DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT=1' >>~/.profile
# log out and in again for .profile changes to take effect
dotnet tool install -g git-credential-manager

Closing in favor of #606 - we will start publishing an ARM package on completion of that issue.
