Which Gitea ARM build install on Raspberry Pi

Gitea currently does not provide packages for ARMv7, which was commonly used for Raspberry Pi 3. This is not a problem as software compiled for specific ARM instructions set should work on more recent architectures thanks to backward compatibility with earlier ARM processors.

I am using Raspberry Pi 3, which is using the ARM Cortex-A53 processor.

$ cat /proc/device-tree/model
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3

The last ARMv7 version was published when version v1.8.1 was released on May 8. It was not working.

$ ./gitea-1.8.1-linux-arm-7
Bus error

The solution is to use the ARMv6 version as described in Using release binary on armv7 fails with segmentation fault #6700 bug report.

I think this issue can be closed since we don’t build an arm7 specific release anymore (and I think these comments are starting to become confusing/misleading). People should be using the arm6 build as arm is backwards compatible and it works fine on arm7.
<p>
  Anybody can always build their own if they want, since our issue was that a statically linked build segfaults on arm7 and we only offer statically linked builds &#8212; but most people building their own probably aren&#8217;t doing that. Also there is no real reason to imo, I don&#8217;t think anything in our stack is particularly optimized for the few features added by arm7 and go itself doesn&#8217;t even do a build for arm7 just arm6.

It works as expected.
