I'm already doing that for those platforms (except for linux-aarch64,
which I had missed; thanks for pointing that out), but the Build Farm
also builds binaries for the following platforms

    https://build.contextgarden.net/dl/luametatex/work/armhf-linux/
    https://build.contextgarden.net/dl/luametatex/work/i386-freebsd/
    https://build.contextgarden.net/dl/luametatex/work/i386-solaris/
    https://build.contextgarden.net/dl/luametatex/work/x86_64-solaris/

but I'm not able to find the corresponding zips on lmtx.pragma-ade.nl.
I've tried downloading the following files without success (although it
could just be that I'm using the wrong names):

    http://lmtx.pragma-ade.nl/install-lmtx/context-linux-armhf.zip
    http://lmtx.pragma-ade.nl/install-lmtx/context-freebsd.zip
    http://lmtx.pragma-ade.nl/install-lmtx/context-solaris-intel.zip

If you think that me copying the latest binaries from "work" will be an
issue for those platforms, could you please either tag a new LuaMetaTeX
release before copying it into ConTeXt (so that I can download the
binaries from "main"), add those platforms to mtx-install.lua and/or
lmtx.pragma-ade.nl (so that I can download the binaries with "mtxrun
--script install --platform=$PLATFORM --update"), or copy the binaries
for those platforms to some other URL that I can download them from?

All of those options will work equally well for me, so I have no problem
working with whichever one is the easiest for you. Or if you think that
copying the latest binaries from "work" will be okay, I can also
continue doing that.

Thanks,
-- Max

that machine is fragile (was a rpi 32)

idem, hard to update etc (somehow goes off line randomly

obsolete stuff, probably unuseable for tex anyway

we only tag a major update (so normally tex live code freeze, maybe 
around the meeting) .. i don't want a git repos with intermediate crap 
(too much noise)

juist stick with the major platforms (i knwo that soem context users on 
e.g. moving targets like openbsd just compile themselves as it relates 
to specific version of the OS we used to generate a few)

Ok, Karl said that he's okay with that, so I'll remove the binaries for
those platforms in the next update. Future updates will only include the
"officially-supported" binaries from lmtx.pragma-ade.nl.

Thanks,
