  • Bug#1084783: RM: debian-installer [i386] -- ROM; i386 support goes away

    From Cyril Brulebois@21:1/5 to All on Tue Oct 8 10:10:01 2024
    Package: ftp.debian.org
    Severity: normal
    User: ftp.debian.org@packages.debian.org

    Control: affects -1 + src:debian-installer

    Hi,

    This is basically a redux of #1081698 with s/armel/i386/g.

    Starting with the 6.11 linux packages that just hit unstable, i386 is
    EOL'd as far as linux/debian-installer support goes, and we have nothing
    to build there anymore.

    Please remove the debian-installer binary on i386. It contains some documentation but mainly records a bunch of packages via Built-Using.

    I have no opinion as to whether (not) cleaning up the installer-i386 directory[1] should happen in an arch-specific manner. I'd expect having
    both initial and current version in the bookworm directory[2] would be sufficient in case someone needs a DeLorean.

    1. https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/installer-armel/
    2. https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bookworm/main/installer-armel/

    I've not Cc'd the i386 porters list for obvious reasons. :o)


    Cheers,

    Just triggered a manual build everywhere after the git push from a few
    minutes ago, will decron the i386 one on barriere after the (expected)
    failure shows up.
