The writing was on the wall for some time regarding i686, and with Fedora finally dropping the i686 repo (and dealing with the limited multilib needs using a koji buildroot), I was actually wondering when RPMFusion would announce the equivalent thing for F31. I happen to currently provide a 32-bit Fedora builder for a OSS project that uses some bits from RPMFusion, but I was paying a bit of attention, and warned them in late June (maybe early July?) that if FESCo approved the changes that that builder would be shutdown sometime in 2020 when F30 finally goes final EOL. They were OK with that (not that they really had a lot of choice). Thanks for letting us know the plans. They work for me. Off topic: I do wonder a bit as to what will be the reaction of those using Fedora as their daily driver, but otherwise do not closely follow the development process, when they find out they can't upgrade to F31 on their trust old 32-bit only device (FD: I still have a 32-bit only laptop sitting on a shelf, but I have not actually turned it on for a while now). Probably about the same as when Ubuntu users try to upgrade to 19.10 (and beyond) in the same situation. Or for that matter those intending to upgrade to macOS catalina which is also putting the final nail in 32-bit apps (which will, of course, also impact steam and wine on that platform). 5 stages of grief? Containerization may only take one so far. 2019 may be remembered as the year that 32-bit died? _______________________________________________ rpmfusion-developers mailing list -- rpmfusion-developers@lists.rpmfusion.org To unsubscribe send an email to rpmfusion-developers-le...@lists.rpmfusion.org
