That would mean that security updates are not provided, bug fixes never make it in, and so on. ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org

And I thought that should be obvious, silly me. Just kidding. Of course I would do it if there were no better choice. I'm just struggling to find out if there is no other possibility whatsoever. There might be reasons why Fedora is just unable to keep it updated that I don't know. And of course I could use another repository provided by some other distribution. I'm just trying to find out what are my options. I would prefer to keep using modern Fedora unless I'm forced not to. Just in case. There is no reason to believe that I'm upset or frustrated. That's just a conversation which might get heated at a time for various reasons which are not directly related to the subject. ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org

If you don't care about i686 not being "supported" but just want to have access to the repositories so you can use/fix them yourself, then why don't you just keep running Fedora 30 or 29 forever? The old bits will always be there (moved to archive/ directory) and you can keep using them. ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
