Platform Support
Packages receive varying degrees of support, both in terms of maintainer attention and available computation resources for continuous integration (CI). We have 7 defined tiers denoting how well supported each platform is.
Tiers
Tier 1
Tier 1 platforms receive the highest level of support where problems can block updates, platform-specific patches are freely applied, and most packages are expected to work.
Tier 2
Tier 2 platforms are expected to remain functional with updates, receive platform-specific patches as needed, and have many packages built by Hydra with full ofBorg support.
Tier 3
Tier 3 platforms may receive non-intrusive platform-specific fixes, have native bootstrap tools available with cross-build toolchains in binary cache, but updates might break builds on these platforms.
Tier 4-7
Platform Tiers 4 through 7 indicate varying levels of minimal support going from receiving only limited fixes to platforms with no support, but a path to support.
