I specifically told you guys that we were NOT dropping the i686 port, and you guys went and voted on it without me? This is the last straw. If you guys don't fix this now, consider this my last email.
This is just typical for Americans. They tend to be so proud of being one of the oldest democracies but when the result of a vote does not match their interest they start whining like a little child.
*sigh* politics! You're right though, it doesnt matter how many cars phrak throws, the decision stands.
Anyway: We should decide on the schedule asap. People are already confused. So here is my proposal:
* We should maintain the core repo for i686 till the end of the year. It's not that much work and it would give the people enough time to migrate. * The [extra] update should be maintained until July; KDE 4.3 will be released then and be the first x86_64 exclusive set of packages. * The [community]-i686 repo should be removed between now and July; but this has to be decided by the TUs.
What difference does a few months make? Might as well save us the trouble and ditch it by the end of this month seeing as everyone knows now.
Till then we should concentrate on giving every dev access to x86_64 machines; see Dusty's thread.
I've setup SSH on my box if anyone needs one in the meantime. What's the status on pacbuild? James
