[$] Debian debates amending architecture support stratagem

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 16:17:20 +0000

Description:
The Linux kernel supports a large number of architectures .
Not all of those are supported by Linux distributions, but Debian does support
many of them, officially or unofficially. On October 26, Bastian Blank opened 
a discussion about the minimum version of these architectures
that Debian should support: in particular, raising the de-facto minimum
versions in the next Debian release ("forky"). Thread participants were 
generally in favor of
keeping support for older architecture variants, but didn't reach a firm
conclusion.
