# 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). We have 7 defined tiers denoting how well supported each platform is.
|
|
|
|
## Tiers {#sec-platform-tiers}
|
|
|
|
### Tier 1 {#sec-platform-tier1}
|
|
|
|
[Tier 1](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0046-platform-support-tiers.md#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 {#sec-platform-tier2}
|
|
|
|
[Tier 2](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0046-platform-support-tiers.md#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 {#sec-platform-tier3}
|
|
|
|
[Tier 3](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0046-platform-support-tiers.md#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 {#sec-platform-tier4-7}
|
|
|
|
Platform Tiers [4 through 7](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0046-platform-support-tiers.md#tier-4) indicate varying levels of minimal support going from receiving only limited fixes to platforms with no support, but a path to support.
