So, if I understand correctly, the Pi3 supports aarch64? Or is this on a different type of hardware?
The Raspberry Pi 3 has a Cortex-A53 (ARMv8-A) CPU featuring a 64-bit instruction set. This device is capable of running a 64-bit, "Aarch64", operating system, and allows 32-bit applications to be executed in a 64-bit OS by providing user-space compatibility with ARMv7-A, the "Aarch32" or "A32" (32-bit), architecture.
The Raspberry Pi ARM11 (ARM1176JZF-S) and Raspberry Pi 2 Cortex-A7 (ARMv7-A) CPUs feature a 32-bit instruction set. It's not possible to run a 64-bit "Aarch64" operating system on these devices.

Thank you for the very detailed explanation and for all the great work the people involved have done to make this available for Slackware.
Not a bad thing in my opinion (although it works for me). How many times you have to ask someone to stop using a project's name that they have been explicitly asked not to use, I don't know.
Hello,
First, lemme say: Great work
I wannet to ask , do you plan to add rsync to http://dl.fail.pp.ua ?
I'll like to mirror it, and rsyncd will be nice to have running on it.
Oh and another thing, any plans to add PACKAGES.TXT, FILELIST.TXT & CHECKSUMS. ( for the package managers )

Thank you.
if there is such a need in the near future I will add rsync and PACKAGES.TXT, FILELIST.TXT & CHECKSUMS
