Hi folk,

when I try to build v7.10 on my apple m2 macbook, I got error:

```auto
> Task :buildSrc:check UP-TO-DATE
> Task :buildSrc:build UP-TO-DATE

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'elasticsearch'.
> no project [:distribution:archives:darwin-aarch64-tar], project names: [root project 'elasticsearch', project ':benchmarks', project ':build-tools', project ':client', project ':distribution', ....

```

seems v7.10 still not provide a way to build on aarch64,  
however the official docker image I have downloaded which can run on my  
m2 macbook smoothly.

is there anyway that I can solve this problem?

Thanks in advance with best regards.  
Chester

Upgrading to a stable version would be the best thing to do. 7.17 but much better 8.16.

Thank you so much, so for the v7.10 and the other versions older than this, actually would not get official support for the aarch64 gradle build right?

Yes. As far as I remember, this version was built in January 2021, almost 4 years ago around the same date the Apple M1 has been released.

The only way IMO is to use the Docker version. Or try by yourself to change the code of 7.10... But I'd definitely not recommend doing that and using a version that did not get any of the bug fixes and more importantly the security patches over the last 4 years!

One more question, so the v7.10 aarch64 image run on my macbook is actually made from linux/rpm/deb aarch64? Thus it's obviously not stable?
