+title: 'Much improved MIPS and Alpha support in Gentoo Linux'
+---
+

+Over the last years, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIPS_architecture">MIPS</a> and
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEC_Alpha">Alpha</a> support in Gentoo has been slowing down,
+mostly due to a lack of volunteers keeping these architectures alive. Alas, not anymore! We're happy
+to announce that thanks to renewed volunteer interest both arches have returned to the forefront of
+Gentoo Linux development, with a consistent dependency tree checked and enforced by our continuous integration system.
+Up-to-date stage builds and the accompanying binary packages are available for both, in the case of
+<a href="https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/#mips">MIPS</a> for all three ABI variants
+o32, n32, and n64 and for both big and little endian, and in the case of
+<a href="https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/#alpha">Alpha</a> also with a
+bootable installation CD.
