The Debian Project announces that the Debian 7 (codenamed Wheezy), which is expected to be released in 2013, will support Multiarch.
Multiarch (Multi-architecture) terminology is used to refer to a system that can install and execute applications with multiple different binaries, such as I386-LINUX-GNU programs that can be executed on AMD64-LINUX-GNU systems. Multiarch also simplifies cross-schema compilation. Debian made the decision to introduce Multiarch support at the annual meeting DebConf11.
The developer said. It greatly enhances Debian's ability to implement general operating system commitments. Enhanced support for 32-bit applications for new 64-bit systems.
