I am actually using Plasma on i586 so it would be good to know if Plasma on i586 does not work anymore. However, I would not mind if I don't get updates for some times until someone can fix the issue. Releasing the snapshot also for i586 although it's broken might IMHO shine a bad light on openSUSE Tumbleweed as a whole even though the screensaver is actually giving an advice how a workaround could look like ;-
There is a mis-understanding to be sorted out here: it's all or nothing.. Tumbleweed is ONE snapshot for i586 and x86_64. Unless we start treating i586 like the other ports (ppc64le, arm), this is what we have. I have absolutely no objection to someody stepping up and doing i586 as a port - it will mean it will be completely dropped from the Tumbleweed FTP tree though... That's a completely different way of doing it (and as all things: it's not even that easy: we still need to build i586 for all packages that have a baselibs.conf and their dependencies - or we won't have the -32bit packages, which is a clear no-go). So, in short: holding back the snapshot means for ALL Tumbleweed users. Of course releasing it, Oliver can 'hold it back on his own machine' for as long as needed... and/or he can help in tracking down the bug... And now re-read above sentence but replace 'Oliver' with your own name. YOU use i586 and are thus asked to step up and help (Sorry Oliver, did really not want to single you out). Cheers, Dominique
