Carsten, I do agree with many of your points. But I really would like to refrain from diverging from the main point. Let me try to summarize like this.
The team briefly explained why they would like to drop 32-bit support: a) They suspect there are no/very few users, and the survey is about learning about this for sure. b) There are specific bugs related to quemu which they have no resources to fix. These bugs are long-standing, and there is no indication that they are going to be fixed. That's about it, AFAIU. Now, "self-hosting" thing is great. "If mic/gbs works for PC, it should just work for Mobile" is even better. I am all for it. Would be really cool, honestly. But I think the tools team is very practical. They have limited amount of resources, and hours in the day. They are trying to drop less important things in favor of more important. I fully understand them. They have a feature which they carry, which consumes resources (both HW and human), but does not work for long time. They have a challenge - fix it or drop it. To make them fix it we should come up with good justification why it is important right now. Or just send them a link to patches in upstream quemu which fix the problem. Or something like that. Otherwise, why would they support the feature? And then the other point I was trying to make is that there are many problematic areas, and I gave an example with signing images. Or look at how many troubles people have with mic / gbs and arm builds, check archives. Should the tools team invest more time to that, may be? I think yes. So, judge yourself. My judgment is that I'd rather spent time on different things, which I personally believe are more important. I would be happy to also see mic/gbs to "just work" on Tizen PC/IVI/Mobile, but for me personally this is somewhere lower on the wish list. But hey, this is a survey, everyone is free to express own opinion :-) P.S. FYI, I am not from tools team, I am just the Tizen IVI kernel maintainer. -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/general
