User input needed: Stop supporting 32 bit architectures with emboss (Was: emboss-lib: identified for time_t transition but no ABI in shlibs)

2024-01-30 Thread Andreas Tille
Hi again, besides my suggested solution to split up emboss-lib again (and when doing so make the package emboss-lib a metapackage depending from single packages to match all its rdepends) I wonder whether we should provide EMBOSS for 64 bit architectures only. While we probably need to file a

Hi Andreas, I agree that we can remove EMBOSS in all 32-bit platforms. I think that a large fraction of the scientific field has no appetite to do any extra volunteer work to such as accepting our patches to support scientific computations on 32-bit systems in 15 years... Have a nice day,
