| Debian drops mainframe, Sparc development |
|---|
The Debian GNU/Linux project has proposed axing the number of computer architectures for which it actively develops, with Sparc and IBM's S/390 amongst the casualties.
Debian release manager Steve Langasek made the announcement on a mailing list last night.
"This will drastically reduce the architecture coordination required in testing, giving us a more limber release process and (it is hoped) a much shorter release cycle on the order of 12-18 months," wrote Langasek.
