Hi all, this will be a long mail, and might be confusing, I'll try to organize it, but this is a mess, so bear with me.
======== 32-bit arches ========
This includes stable arches x86, arm, ppc, sparc32, dev arches s390, and maybe more. Those are in much worse situation, with a mess on various
fronts, some of them super hard to continue support. For example
qtwebengine is less and less likely to manage to compile on a
real-hardware, and not 32-bit chroot on 64-bit host. Arch Team want to minimize our work on those arches, meaning mass-destable and even mass-dekeyword, with potentially full drop of stable status.
We haven't yet migrated to 64-bit time_t (and off_t - Large File
Support/LFS) which will fix a lot of general test failures.
Doing that before making any decision has value in two ways:
1) It might make the situation a lot better, who knows?
2) Even if we do then do a mass purge after, it leaves users on such
platforms in a good state to keep stabilisation until after we're done,
to help find any possible issues.
dilfridge is currently beginning the time64 prep work (it requires LFS
too).
