Re: Status of buster/armel

Hi Sergio,

armel is not being supported by the LTS as well
as some other platforms. One of reasons is that
we have limited resources so we can only support
only the subset of archs.

Best regards

Anton

Status of buster/armel

2022-12-02 Thread Sergio Callegari
From the LTS web site, I see that armel is not listed among the 
architectures that are given LTS support for buster.


I would like to check that this is indeed the case or whether armel is 
going to come.


On one hand, it is quite understandable that supporting armel today may 
not very desirable from your perspective as it brings a lot of work on 
slow hardware. On the other hand upgrading such old hardware is a pain, 
so having the possibility to keep it at buster until it is eventually 
replaced could be useful.


Thanks for your help and effort,

Best regards,

Sergio
