Debian

  • Bookworm releasing without RISC-V support, but it was close.

    • riscv64

    • =======

    • Although it's not yet in the official architecture list, the riscv64 port

    • is making good progress. We expect to be in a position to ship trixie with

    • riscv64 support (subject to architecture qualification later in the cycle).

  • Now may be a good time to invest in Debian so Trixie (2 years out from 2023) supports RISC-V.

  • Project could use hardware and attention to build failures.

    • Rivos experience with Fedora shows that many packages will need small fixes to build. This needs attention, but is overall tractable.

 

Jul 23, 2023 Debian Announces RISC-V as official architecture, begins building packages.
