64-bit ARM Linux wheels

[taleinat]

Would it be possible to provide binary wheels for 64-bit ARM (a.k.a. "aarch64") Linux?

I see that such wheels are already provided for 64-bit ARM macOS and x86-64 Linux, so hopefully not too difficult to do...

I don't have experience in that area, but there seems to be no linux arm64 runner in GH actions yet, so it can't just be added to the build matrix.
There is an action that gives the possibility to run arm64 on an emulated system that may be used for this, as far as I understand.
I may have a closer look at this over the weekend, though I would prefer if somebody with access to arm64 linux would try this.

python-gdcm recently implemented this, experimentally, but it seems to work nicely. Perhaps a similar method can be used? Here are the relevant commits.

Thanks - that looks quite helpful! I will probably try this later today.

I made a new patch release with the aarch64 wheels - please check if these work for you.

While I added this I noticed that there are still manylinux-2010 wheels are created both in this project and in pylibjpeg-openjpeg. As far as I understand, they are no longer needed as all target platforms are unsupported and can be removed. Is there anything I'm missing here?

Closing this also as done, please reopen if there are problems.

Many thanks @mrbean-bremen! I hope to test these later this week.
