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.
