The idea to only build them after x86_64 sounds pretty good. Actually, are all
packages build together with the tests or only after they
I'm still using i686 on my Atom based NAS.
It would be okay for me if only nixos-minimal was build for i686.

My experience is equal with Marco, about memory and my usage of i686. i686
is important for me too.

Hi,
same here.
Many interpreted languages (like Python) are affected by this as they tend to
be quite pointer-happy. As pointer-size doubles from 32bit to 64bit we find
that in most applications we have about 70% increase when moving to 64-bit
ending up with 1.7 as much memory as before. So
I use 32 bit a lot.
First of all, I use it on some old machines with 32bit hardware.
But, more importantly, I use it regularly on virtuabox and xen virtual
machines.
In my experience, for most of my use cases the 32bit require less memory
(which is often not abundant on virtual instances) and it
By amd32 do you mean amd64 with 32 bit pointers?

This seems the best suggestion I know of now. It shouldn't be difficult
to implement, and it also makes important x86_64

I encountered an i686 user just the other day! I don't use it personally,
but having solid support in Nix was fantastic, especially because older,
32-bit machines tend to be slower, which makes Nix's binary caching
functionality even more important.

Is there a way to get stats on which binary cache hashes are being
retrieved? Would be interesting to see what percentage is i686 and scale
build shares accordingly.

Hi all,
Do we still have users running 32-bit machines? It would reduce the load on
hydra significantly if we could drop support for i686, though of course if
people are still relying on it we shouldn't make the change yet.
