Adding a new Linux distro as a ponyup bootstrap-test target requires scaffolding a multi-arch Dockerfile, updating CI workflows like pr.yml and tier2.yml, and modifying ponyup-init.sh distro detection to recognize the new platform.

Yes, the ponyup bootstrap-tester supports multi-arch Docker builds for both arm64 and amd64 architectures, specifically applying to Alpine and Ubuntu Linux distribution families.

Adding a new Linux bootstrap platform requires updating the pr.yml and ponyup-tier2.yml CI workflows, alongside creating a build-and-push.bash script in the .ci-dockerfiles directory to coordinate Docker image pushes.

Updating ponyup-init.sh to detect a new Linux distribution involves adding logic that recognizes the new distro and version, ensuring the bootstrap-tester pipeline correctly targets the platform during installation.

Yes, creating release notes is required when adding a bootstrap-test target, documenting the new Linux distro support and adjusting canonical example strings and tests as needed.

The best way to scaffold a multi-arch bootstrap-tester is creating a .ci-dockerfiles/<distro><version>-bootstrap-tester directory containing a Dockerfile and build-and-push.bash, then integrating CI workflows and release notes.
