Debian Drops Armel, Mips64el Architecture Support

The Debian project developers recently announced the removal of ports for the mips64el and armel (ARM EABI) architectures from the unstable and experimental repositories. This decision means that these architectures will no longer be supported in the upcoming Debian 14 branch.

One of the notable boards that used the armel architecture includes the Raspberry Pi 1, Raspberry Pi Zero, and Raspberry Pi Zero W. Users who were relying on these architectures will need to adapt to the changes brought forth by Debian’s decision.
