Hi Vincent,
Thanks for your patch.
I'm afraid this will not be accepted. We usually refuse to advertise
support for rolling release distributions.
The advertised supported distributions are tested on our autobuilder and
we don't run ArchLinux there. I would expect we also don't have the
bandwidth to debug when things break in ArchLinux. Note that we also do
not specify support for derivatives of Debian or Ubuntu distributions,
we have seen issues with Pop_OS! in the past for example.
For this to be accepted in the documentation, I believe we'd need
patches for the autobuilder so that some builds run on an ArchLinux
server. This probably needs to be discussed (and financially supported?)
with Michael Halstead our sysadmin. But first and foremost, we would
need this support to be agreed by maintainer(s), hence why I'm Cc'ing
Richard on this, who I hope can raise this to the proper board if he
doesn't veto this.
Considering it's holiday season, please expect some delay, but don't
hesitate to ping us in a week or two were you to not receive an answer
meanwhile.
Cheers,
Quentin

Hi Vincent
Thanks for the patch anyway! I was also going to check whether Arch was
tested by our Autobuilder.

Another idea would be to create a page on our wiki
(https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/), for people trying to use Yocto on
distributions which are currently not supported. We could then refer to
such a page from the documentation, reminding people that there is no
support commitment. Or something specific to Arch would be to update
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Yocto
Just my two cents.
Cheers
Michael.

Please no. Wikis are a dumpster of outdated information, and this in
particular will quickly become a source of confusion, which is worse
than simply trying to build and dealing with issues as they happen.

On second thought, people on distributions not supported directly
should be pointed to buildtools-tarballs of both kinds. But this
should be in the proper documentation.

Good idea.
