[arch-ports] What will happen to my i686 machines?
Hi, I realize that i686 support is being moved to a community mirror this year. As far as I know, this will mean that pacman will give 404 errors until I change the mirrorlist. Is this correct? Will the old i686 packages still be kept? What else will need to be done? Thank you, Dmitry Kudriavtsev

ArchLinux will support x86 architecture until November 2017. ArchLinux32 will inform us when their repository will be fully functional including their packages. As for time being, I don't know how stable their packages are.

This is essentially correct. There are mirrors with preliminary packages available for testing. See https://github.com/archlinux32/packages/tree/ master/core for more details.

They should be fully (mostly) ready for testing now; I wouldn't consider them ready for a production system, but it's getting there. Cheers, Tyler
