pre-requisites for experimental ARM build #251

Description

@shiftkey

There have been several requests for shipping something for ARM versions:

I'm going to use this issue to capture blockers for this:

  • embedded Git - Remove support for arm64 going forward desktop/dugite-native#315 - need to figure out how to build Git from source locally and slipstream the packaged bits into a build
  • native dependencies - NodeJS does have support for building native modules for ARM64, but I haven't explored this
  • local packaging - there's manual steps to do this here but we'd need to update this to support scripted builds
  • continuous integration builds - I want to avoid shipping releases to be tied to a specific machine - how can we avoid this?

Please upvote this if you're interested, or comment if you have any insights to contribute about this work.
