IPFire to drop 32-bit support |
|
The IPFire team have announced plans to phase out 32-bit (x86) support. The plan is for IPFire to drop support for 32-bit processors, which make up less than 10% of the project's install base, at the end of 2021. The team has run into bugs which only affect 32-bit packages and the effort to maintain these packages outweighs the benefit to supporting the rarely-used architecture. Michael Tremer provided details: "Currently, only 7% of all IPFire systems are not capable of running the 64 bit version. We have taken the decision to give everyone who is still using IPFire on those machines one year to upgrade to new hardware. After December 31st 2021, we will no longer support the i586 architecture." |
