Debian planning to phase out 32-bit x86 support |
 |
The Debian project is planning to gradually phase out support for 32-bit x86 install media. In an announcement titled "A future for the i386 architecture" Paul Gevers outlined how Debian is going to handle 32-bit systems: "Insofar as they still do, we anticipate that the kernel, d-i and images teams will cease to support i386 in the near future. Following that, there are two
routes into running i386: 1. as a multi-arch option on an otherwise amd64 system; 2. as an i386 chroot on another architecture system. We're not planning to make i386 a partial architecture in the way Ubuntu has, arch:any will still contain i386 so everything builds by default." In other words, it looks like Debian will continue to supply 32-bit packages, the project will just phase out install media for the aging architecture. Distributions based on Debian will be able to continue releasing 32-bit editions. |
