It is disappointing that the tools for doing Tizen local builds are not expected to run on Tizen. I consider it an obvious hard requirement that should be tested regularly.

And the future 64bit support of Tizen itself is only the last straw of it. Whenever the 64bit Tizen development is the necessary part of developers' work, they can only use 64bit development environment. thanks - jf.ding On Wed, Sep 18, 2013 at 12:47:54PM -0700, Kok, Auke-jan H wrote: > On Wed, Sep 18, 2013 at 12:21 PM, Tomasz Olszak <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > I'm opposed to this. > >> > >> > >> 64bit support in Tizen is not yet mainstream at all, as a matter of > >> fact it's barely been implemented in 3.0, and no major release that > >> developers can use yet has happened. > >> > >> Can we maintain 32bit code until most developers have had a major > >> release on 64bit?

Sounds premature to me - the word "ASAP" certainly is. > > Auke > _______________________________________________ > General mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/general _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/general _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/general
