Is Valve already maintaining a 32-bit distribution? If not, where would their Flatpak get the builds from? And I thought Wine can run 32-bit Windows applications against 64-bit system libraries these days? Or at least it's getting there. Then Wine wouldn't be a reason to keep 32-bit builds around. | *** WoW64 | | - The 64-bit Windows-on-Windows (WoW64) architecture is implemented, and | supports running a 32-bit Windows application inside a 64-bit Unix host | process, using thunks to map 32-bit NT system calls to the 64-bit NTDLL. | | - WoW64 thunks are implemented for most Unix libraries, enabling a 32-bit PE | module to call a 64-bit Unix library. Once the remaining modules are | converted to PE, this will make it possible to run 32-bit applications | without installing 32-bit Unix libraries. <https://www.winehq.org/announce/7.0> Thanks, Florian _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
