I have a Raspberry Pi 400 running latest version of Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworm)
I install BOINC version 7.20.5 by using the command
sudo apt install boinc

I want to install the latest version of BOINC (8.0.2) by following the instruction of the following page.

[url]
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/linux_install.php?os_num=3&build=stable
[/url]

But there is no 'arm64' package in the repository.

N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-armhf/Packages' as repository 'https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com stable InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'armhf'
N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-arm64/Packages' as repository 'https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/linux/stable/bookworm bookworm InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'arm64'


Can someone add support of 'arm64' architecture to this repository.

The other alternative is to roll your own and build from source. I have stopped doing that since I have been able to get 8.1.0 for my box via the package manager but bar having to chase down a few dependencies it isn't that difficult.
