Description:
I am working on the project ‘wix-embedded-mysql’ <https://github.com/wix/wix-embedded-mysql> for adding AArch64 support. This project installs MYSQL tar.gz  from <https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/> and uses it for further processing like running tests in production like environments. 
Currently it installs tar.gz for x86_64 and i686 for Linux. Here is an example : <mysql-5.7.31-linux-glibc2.12-x86_64.tar.gz> 
For adding AArch64 support in ‘wix-embedded-mysql’, I would require MYSQL AArch64 tar.gz releases. Mysql is already releasing AArch64 .rpm binaries in version 8.0.21 <https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-8.0/mysql-community-server-8.0.21-1.el8.aarch64....>. If I use this rpm binary in ‘wix-embedded-mysql’ for AArch64, the project gives the following IOexception error :

--------------------------
If you get this exception more than once, you should check if the file is corrupt.
If you remove the file (/home/travis/.embedmysql/MySQL-8.0/mysql-community-server-8.0.21-1.el8.aarch64.rpm), it will be downloaded again.

java.io.IOException: Input is not in the .gz format
--------------------------

It would be really helpful if AArch64 MYSQL tar.gz becomes available.
Are you planning for this in near future?

How to repeat:
Not available.
It is a feature Request.
