(This note explains how Debian i386 architecture is dropping 586 processors.) No fun that. I seem not to be affected today, anyway. But I fear soon it will no longer be practical to keep some of my old machines around for fallback in case of trouble. > > Is there any chance Devuan might revert this? Only with the resources to compile our own version of every binary package. To do it, we'd have to make two releases -- one for i586, and another for i686 and newer. The i686 could be copied from Debian as at present. the i586 one would have to be compiled by us. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
