openSUSE phasing out old 64-bit x86 support |
|
The openSUSE distribution is going to be making a significant change to its rolling release branch, named Tumbleweed. Support for older 64-bit (x86_64) processors is being phased out. "Tumbleweed and openSUSE other distributions are built for old x86-64-v1 hardware and transitioning to x86-64-v2 will require community efforts to support users with hardware that can't make the transition to the microarchitecture.
The 'openSUSE Factory repository is repurposed to move forward with x86-64-v2,' wrote Tumbleweed release manager Dominique Leuenberger in an email to the openSUSE Factory mailing list. A new repository 'will be set up as openSUSE Factory currently exists today. This change is necessary to align with the SUSE factory first policy to keep aligned with the project's sponsor's development efforts.
That new repository looks like it will be named openSUSE:Factory:LegacyX86 and volunteers would be needed to maintain aspects of the repository designed for x86-64-v1 users." Additional details can be found in the openSUSE project's news post. |
