Oh I see, that's how you encode it for RPM! Thanks @psgreco, will trigger some builds and give it a try.

@psgreco I just realized you're Pablo from https://forums.centos.org/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=73495&sid=efd80c413274e6e262c64bdd2812de74&start=20. Thanks for your work there, I have SD cards with CentOS 7 and 8 for RPi4, all thanks to you!

The RPMs produced now seem much better but still hit some roadblocks when installing. Here's the output on my Pi with CentOS 8:

Hehe, same one, happy to help ;)

Yeah, that looks much better, TBH, my patch was a complete shot in the dark so we could get to this point, the real failures

Any thoughts?

Is there a simple way for me to build code here So I can get you a final version? or just point me to the version you're testing right now and I can take another look

Absolutely, here's a download link for the built tarball: https://az764295.vo.msecnd.net/insider/5987e4076572afbac347b1ec7946ecc59ecaf682/code-insider-arm64-1606240510.tar.gz

Thanks a lot for your help.
