Comment on Debian adds LoongArch as officially supported architecture

Comments

Huh. Is this arch supported by LLVM/Rust?

It was announced recently (https://lwn.net/Articles/1044496/) that Apt, the Debian package manager, would require Rust by May 2026.

It does look like LoongArch is a supported target of Rust at Tier 2: https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/rustc/platform-support/loonga...

In fact, Rust's targets page is much bigger than I remembered! Good work

No, that was just the wish expressed by one of the APT maintainers. No actual decision has been made yet.
