Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
First, thank you all for the (mostly) constructive discussion around this topic. The thread got pretty long and I think no more new arguments have been surfacing lately.
Let me give a quick overview of what will happen from here on:
## openSUSE Tumbleweed x86_64 stays at baseline ## + We will push on finding a better solution than moving the entire distro to any other architecture level. We're currently collecting ideas/proposals/solutions at https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:X86-64-Architecture-Levels. It's even very likely that we come up with a plan of using combinations (of e.g hwcaps plus a 2nd baseline repo)
## openSUSE Tumbleweed i586 downgraded to a port ## The i586 architecture keeps moving to openSUSE:Factory:LegacyX86 (the name still matches luckily). The repository will be published at https://download.opensuse.org/ports/i586/tumbleweed/repo/oss/. The usercount there is non-zero, but certainly not as large as the x86_64 userbase. For this port, it would still be great if there was a volunteer looking after it. It would mostly consist of verifying the QA runs, most often cross-checking failures against the x86_64 port, filing new bugs if not identical on x86_64 (or not already filed by other ports) and keep an eye on the build state of the repository. This is a task that does not require coding skills (it can help, but is not mandatory).
Will the 32bit libs stay for e.g. use by Wine? Ciao, Marcus
