Gentoo Linux Drops IA-64 (Itanium) Support – Gentoo Linux

News and information from Gentoo Linux

Following the removal of IA-64 (Itanium) support in the Linux kernel and glibc, and subsequent discussions on our mailing list, as well as a vote by the Gentoo Council, Gentoo will discontinue all ia64 profiles and keywords. In addition, there have been only very few users interested in this type of hardware. As also announced in a news item, in one month, i.e. in the first half of September 2024, all ia64 profiles will be removed, all ia64 keywords will be dropped from all packages, and all IA-64 related Gentoo bugs will be closed.
