Description Luca Botti 2007-02-20 16:49:24 UTC

I would suggest removing the mips architecture because of no real interest to anyone. Also, we could suggest some gentoo-legacy project for DOA architectures ?

Reproducible: Always

There is plenty of embedded systems with relevance, namely routerbox to point one.
There is plenty of more or less recent systems using mips for specific task nowadays.

I really see no point in calling it dead.

heh, and the answer is no.
