# Welcome to Waldux!

# What is it?

Waldux is a spin-off of the operating system Linux. It is based on
the stable 4.9.x Linux branch. The main purpose of Waldux is to keep
support for architectures deprecated by the Linux kernel. One of the
use-cases is to allow regression testing of the uClibc-ng C library
on all supported architectures of it.

The idea started after avr32 architecture support was dropped in
Linux 4.12.x. It then manifested after it was decided to deprecate
and remove score, unicore, metag, frv and m32r in 4.17 release cycle.

Their might be a good chance that it will be degenerated to a Frankenstein
Linux.
