Hi n9iu7pk,
I had no issues rebuilding the Tails packages for arm64 from the source packages in the Tails debian repository, at least for the very few packages that are currently there. If I had modified the sources I think I would have remembered (and I would have published the modified sources), so I don't think I did. If you need help with a specific package just ask away.
Yes, I don't think hosting arm64 snapshots would be much different from x86_64. Versions would already coincide, as Debian usually builds the same versions for all archs at a given time.
I'm not sure I understand what you were saying about base_branch, all I did is I rebased the arm64 patchset onto the stable branch, and more specifically over the 6.1 tag (en passing, to whoever caused the 6.1 retagging fuzz, I lost a full day of testing work because of that, I hate you. Kidding <3). Those have stable as their base_branch. Previously the arm64 patches were applied to "a" devel branch (not even "the" devel branch), namely feature/bookworm, which is not there anymore having long been merged to stable.
