    Description:
    John Paul Adrian Glaubitz has announced that loong64 is now an official architecture for Debian, and will be
    part of the Debian14 ("forky") release " if everything goes
    along as planned ". This is a bit more than two years after the initial bootstrap of the architecture. So far, we have manually built and imported an initial set of 112
    packages with the help of the packages in Debian Ports. This was
    enough to create an initial chroot and set up the first buildd which
    is now churning through the build queue. Over night, the currently
    single buildd instance already built and uploaded 300 new packages.
