alt Hacker NewsArchlinuxarm is a fork. The name is confusing because it's a fork with the same name and logo, but they have got permission to do so
Arch linux aarch64 port is not a fork, it uses the same upstream PKGBUILD which contains minimal aarch64 specific conditional compilation and config
I think even this project was not being mentioned so maybe they are not aware of each other

Cool! More digging to do. I used ALARM to build some rpi images, it worked really well but alas we ended up going back to the base rpi os (Debian) due to the rolling release schedule making reproducible builds more difficult. I’m still thinking through the conceptual correct solution for an appliance…

I was under the impression that that's what ALARM was. And that seems supported by https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/core/R... (and the small number of packages in that repo). Was I mistaken?
