We have started the process of dropping the x86 architecture from postmarketOS.
Starting today:
- No more packages will be built for
x86. - No more cross-compilers to
x86will be available in repositories.
To clear up any confusion: This is only about the 32-bit variant, we will of course keep x86_64, and we will also keep 32-bit EFI for x86_64.
Why drop x86?
- We don't have a single device package in pmaports outside of archived for x86.
- This means we also don't have any users that currently run postmarketOS on x86.
- By not building for x86 we save time in CI and when building binary packages.
- We have one less architecture to worry about if there are architecture specific bugs.
