Not dropping RISC-V support after all, maybe
As circumstances have changed, we are not dropping RISC-V repos for the time being. Instead, newly rebuilt repositories are introduced, built on hardware, with tests. This support is provisional for now, with the new builder still being evaluated to see how it holds up in the long term.
Shortly after announcing the drop, we were offered remote access to a Milk-V Pioneer machine by Zach van Rijn of Adélie Linux. I proceeded to do a full world rebuild on this machine, after some environment setup to allow our infra bits to run. Do keep this in mind when upgrading existing installations, and use the--available flag with apk(every package in your system will be reinstalled).
