Unable to locate package zoneminder

Hi Guys:

I'm trying to install zoneminder on a Debian Buster that i have installed on a bananapi M2 ultra board (armhf 32 bits)

root@bananapim2ultra:~# lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Release: 10
Codename: buster

I already added the repository and installed the key.

deb https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/master buster/
# ZoneMinder repository

nevertheless, and even as the apt update works without no issues, the software is anot able to locate package zoneminder on buster repository.

root@bananapim2ultra:~# sudo apt update

So, as there is no answer from anybody, i suppose that the problem is that there is no armhf package for debian buster? is it right? doing a search on repository the only package is:

root@bananapim2ultra:~# apt-cache search zoneminder
zoneminder-doc - ZoneMinder documentation

that is the only package that is marked as all arquitectures.

So, armhf package is just available for jessie version, and no for stretch or buster.

Does it mean that zoneminder will not work on stretch or buster when installed on armhf? or does it mean that the only path is compiling (not the easy way like you call it)?

Thanks,

zmrepro has the hard float package for the development version. I have not gotten it to work on Buster on a Pi. I have had success with Ubuntu 18.04 and 19.04 on the pi 3b+.
