Why is there an i586 of TW, when there is no Leap i586? What's the point of testing it if no one can use it?
TW is not "testing", that is factory. And TW is not Leap XX.X.
TW = Factory
No, it's not. Factory is the development, TW the rolling release.
Depends on who says it.
why do you think no one can use it?
I thought that TW was the testing place for packages which became part of the release version eventually.
It is, but not directly.
Wrong. It isn't. Not indirectly either
In your opinion.
The reason that there is no 32 bit Leap is because Leap takes its kernel from SLE, and there is no 32 bit SLE.
That's not the reason. Fact that so far no one has stepped up to take the challenge and do the job is.
That's the official explanation now. The explanation at the time was that SLES had dropped 32 bit support, so there was no 32 bit kernel ready, and it had to be done by somebody. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
