we don't do that; chimera is not a product and will always act in the interest of the community + try to be self-sustaining without external control

we have a new #riscv build server: https://chimera-linux.org/news/2025/03/new-riscv-server.html
this is now provisionally a part of the infrastructure to test its stability, and the repos have been rebuilt
new images for 20250420: https://chimera-linux.org/news/2025/04/new-images.html
risc-v still alive (and freshly rebuilt on native hardware), loongarch64 newly available, apk not segfaulting anymore, limine instead of grub for the images themselves on supported platforms (all but ppc*), better compatibility with older bios machines
20250214 images are out, bringing new apk-tools, infrastructural changes, 32-bit powerpc support, and more:
