This will also make it impossible for people to locally do multilib build/installs. It will remove COPR’s ability to do the same. For that reason alone, I don’t particularly want this change to happen.
Can you expand on what you mean by 'locally do' ?
I want to run "gcc -m32 -o my_app-i686 *.o ..." locally on my own box to build executables that run as 32-bit apps on multilib x86_64. For some apps 2GB of malloc() arena is plenty, and they run faster in 32-bit mode because a 64-byte cache line contains 16 pointers instead of only 8. [[snip]]
Finally, if you would prefer this not happen now, is there a time when you would further down the road? Whats the critera/goalpost/cutoff?
One year after Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 7 reaches end-of-support. It would be handy for Fedora to have 32-bit *-devel packages until then. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
