To become Old Factory * for users of legacy systems, we will introduce openSUSE:Factory:Intel, the same setup we have for ports like ARM, PowerPC, zSystems, RISCV. This repo will build packages for x86-64 (v1) plus i586, so basically what the current openSUSE:Factory repository does.
So, this is for the x86-64 architecture that was created by AMD and then later by Intel as well? Then, let's not call it :Intel, please. What about legacy in the name?
Intel is IMHO wrong for two reasons: * It implies that Intel processors are not part of Tumbleweed * It implies that x86-64 was created by Intel
Fair point!
What about :LegacyX86? (it will be i586, and x86-64)
After diving into it.. What about calling it x86-64-v1? Sure, this name will cover the i586 part implicitly only, but would leave room for a x86-64-v3 tree and following. Or even more radical: Create -v1, -v2 and v3 trees, make Factory a link to x86-64-v2 and in five years, switch it to -v3. Ideally, these trees share all noarch packages. I'm sure, you get the idea.
