aarch64 multilib package 404 error

Aarch64 only supports 64bit packages, therefore ArchLinux ARM does not ship with multilib configuration in pacman.conf

The guide only includes the basic steps to add the repository and does not cover issues on hardware compatibility. It would be the responsibility of the user to understand their hardware and/or limitations thereof.

This should be clarified on the website. (BTW I have aarch64 not archarm)

BlackArch is compatible with Arch Linux ARM. It effectively supports all of the Aarch64 platforms listed here.

The way this is worded gives the impression that it would be supported (my hardware is listed). Especially since the following statement directs the user to follow the installation steps without mentioning it wont be fully supported.

In order to install BlackArch on an ARM platform, follow the install instructions for your device on archlinuxarm.org and install BlackArch as an unofficial user repository. Soon we will release adaptations of the Arch Linux ARM images with BlackArch packages pre-installed.

This needs to be updated.

It does not state, that it fully supports each and every tool. This should be done common sense, that not every tool works on arm.

Never the less we can add a statement, that not all tools will be available for arm

It is for the aarch64 build not archarm. The install guide also confuses these two builds interchanging the two as if they are the exact same.

ARMv8, which is what your Raspberry Pi 4 has, is named "aarch64". ARM is the semiconductor company that makes the "aarch64"processor.
