Since some time now several system-projects have removed the support for systems only capable in supporting the 32bit-architecture.
First to state that this is a perspective out of ignorance as not all people around the planet have access towards computer-hardware with clear support for 64bit-architecture. So those decisions leave all the people outside USA and Europe generic outside!
Hyperbola is not following this path as we do not plan to remove the support for Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre and also HyperbolaBSD. As our generic statement is the long-term stable oriented support for our system(s) we also do not want to exclude people from having a stable running operating-system.
Furthermore we also announce that we stop using patchsets from Debian beyond the version Debian 12 (Bookworm). The major reasoning for this decision is the UsrMerge, therefore the on-going transition from the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard towards a complete non standardized default.
This decision makes Debian no longer attractive for Hyperbola as major target for patchset-inclusion. So we will only use the patches up until the mentioned released current stable version named Bookworm. We will freeze afterwards the patches for inclusion in our file-server and transfer them on that way.
Yes, this means also that Hyperbola and Debian are going complete different directions and we will sooner or later leave the mentioned patchsets aside when we see them as not useful, depending on every software-project individual.
As to be read within their statement from October 22, 2024 the FSF is considering the development of software with the focus on machine learning.
Within their statement the FSF called out the difference between free and non-free implementations. Hyperbola as project is not recognizing this statement as a step forward within and in our perspective the FSF fails to recognize the tremendous consequences of that technology itself.
Likewise stated already before we cannot call any kind of software "free" when not all parts of it, including also all data, is released free and permissive licensed.
The software to be ...
In the perspective of Hyperbola as project we are living in times of technical feudalism, a very dangerous development as free, libre software is part of pragmatism and misusage of people, their data and essential information. Hyperbola as project and system is opposing that for sure.

Hello dear interested travelers in the outer rim,
another month is now starting and therefore we take this opportunity to report what was and is going on for Hyperbola as project in the past month.
Works on HyperbolaBSD
Coadde has started the work now on porting our current versions of llvm and clang so we can finally provide the first fully working pre-alpha of HyperbolaBSD.
Works on Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre
throgh is busy with the next packages fixed, updated and added.

We look out for helping hands so we can further migrate the forum, wiki and issue-tracker ...
Hello dear interested travelers in the outer rim,
another month is now starting and therefore we take this opportunity to report what was and is going on for Hyperbola as project in the past month.
Works on HyperbolaBSD
Coadde has concluded the analysis for binutils and gcc: In fact the original implementation of our HyperBK uses backported assembler-instructions. So the conclusion is making it now possible also that we review the needed code for our implementation and needed backporting. With this we have now a good base for a near first working pre-alpha version of HyperbolaBSD as full BSD-descendant operating-system ...
