ARM is untested, will do this later.
I've now run pkg up again (affects many x11 packages) and mpv-x on AARCH64 now works like on ARM (no video just music and stop after 11 seconds) in logcat is:

Ladys and gents, i want to give a big thank you for your wonderful work on termux and keepin it fresh with all those packages and updates!! Thank you for the clangd and ccls packages, i am having so much fun using them with neovim and coc, feels like having real little IDE on my phone!!
Been playing arround with jupyter notebook and also installed jupyter lab with runs fine with octave, gnuplot and xonsh kernels. As i am studying computer science having c++ courses in the 2 semester, i stumbled across xeus cling, a c++ kernel for jupyter mainly for learning and visualizing data when coding with c++. Any chance to get that as a package?
Jupyter Lab has a extension manager for installing add ons but after installing some it recommends to build lab again which throws an error. As it seems, the nodejs version is too old even if it isn't?

"We have one month left before we officially closing support for Android 5 branch.
- Should we apply latest available/possible updates and then freeze branches and leave it only for bugfixes before support is completely dropped ? - The idea is to leave branch with minimum issues to have most packages usable even without support.
- Due to change in termux-elf-cleaner, all packages should be rebuilt. See termux/termux-packages#4287 for related issue.
- After rebuilding, the package "command-not-found" should be updated."
I see that a lot of packages have been bumped - I'm currently rebuilding
anything more to say about the android-5 branch?
we should probably switch the docker image on the android-5 branch, right?
to something like termux/package-builder-android-5
so we can update the docker image on master without having to adopt the android-5 branch to it
aaand, switching from looking back to looking forward :)
"Android 10: experiment with embedding packages into native lib directory failed.
- Android package installer strips away subdirectories and files not ending with '*.so' making that approach useless even for binaries (with exception when they are named like "libbinary.so").
- Proot'ed shell is now the best solution, less reliable but easy and working. It also won't require to drastically change package distribution scheme. As side effect, proot can fix unreadable root directory and few FHS-related problems.
- Sample Android 10 app (works with API 29 but still incomplete): https://github.com/xeffyr/termux-app/releases/tag/v0.84-prooted2"
We cannot have symlinks in jni dir too.
Everything that does not look a file or not named like
lib{name}.so is stripped away during installation.
You may try APK from https://github.com/xeffyr/termux-app/releases/tag/v0.84-prooted2 - it is built with API 29 and works on Android 10.
No significant changes needed to packages.
ARM & x86_64 untested
so ensuring a stable&working proot is a top priority then
and we could let it be known that proot seems to be the future base for termux, so everyone interested should help out with it
it's a rather complicated and special project...
on the other hand I think it's rather interesting, and work you put into understanding gives valuable insights for linux in general, not just for termux&android
Grimler Michal gave some insight on proot with API 29 in https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/1072#issuecomment-556288249, though mostly related to "isolatedProcesses"
