• Sorted the list alphabetically.
• Fedora 38 is EOL, replaced with Fedora 39 and 40.

Should we also include Ubuntu 24.04 as a LTS release?

The cross-compile pipeline is using Alpine latest, but the normal one is using 3.18. This version is still supported but latest is 3.20. Should we update this as well?

What are the downsides of still compiling with Alpine 3.18? It's still maintained security-wise until May 2025. Are the binaries produced on it not compatible with more recent release? I doubt it.

Same with updating to the latest ubuntu and debian releases. I think it makes sense to compile with the latest version that is still actively maintained no?

Yes please

If Alpine has not meaning of stable or LTS releases or alike, I think latest would be the best.

I don't see downsides if the they're binary compatible, but was wondering why ARM64 is latest, i.e. 3.20 and x86_64 is 3.18.

Same as above, but the released binary explicitly says ubuntu22.04. Not sure if users will understand that it is upwards compatible. Maybe easier to also compile another for 24.04?

[sosthene-nitrokey]

@mmerklinger is there a reason why this is still in draft?

Should we merge this before releasing a new version that includes #208, #207 and #206 ?

[mmerklinger]

I added Ubuntu 24.04 to the build matrix. The ARM64 seems to use the Alpine latest because the Github Action used for building it only supports this one. PR is ready now.
