Some weeks ago, I installed BackupPC on a Banana Pi based on a Centos7
OS environment. The support for that ARM-platform is still very
basic, but even if the EPEL-repo is not available, I managed to get all
necessary perl components installed. Partly by building them with CPAN
or from rebuilding RPMs from source. It took me about two evenings to
collect all bits and pieces.

You never know what happens in the future, but so far, I do not see
any trouble within the next 8 years at least. This would be the EOL
date for CentOS7. 

Good enough?

 best regards
