Platform Support {#chap-platform-support} #

Packages receive varying degrees of support, both in terms of maintainer attention and available computation resources for continuous integration (CI).

Below is the list of the best supported platforms:

  • x86_64-linux: Highest level of support.
  • aarch64-linux: Well supported, with most packages building successfully in CI.
  • aarch64-darwin: Receives better support than x86_64-darwin.
  • x86_64-darwin: Receives some support.

There are many other platforms with varying levels of support. The provisional platform list in Appendix A of RFC046, while not up to date, can be used as guidance.

A more formal definition of the platform support tiers is provided in RFC046, but has not been fully implemented yet.
