New issue by Cooky-12 on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/32806

Description:
Hi, I'm new to void, want install void on some arm board.
I search kernel on https://voidlinux.org/packages, but found armv6l and armv7l doesn' have latest kernel version ( old 5.4 ).
Any reason ?

Comment:
The generic kernels are basically unused, most platforms have their own kernel builds. Someone with a device that works with the generic arm kernel can update the configuration, but so far nobody cared enough or the hardware simply does not exist.

May I ask is that normal ?

Some arm board don't have official kernel ( e.g. orangepi  ... ), I simplely install archlinux rootfs ( with latest kernel ) and edit uboot script to load corresponding dtb to boot.

Thanks, I will compile kernel my self.
