#51 Re: Devuan » The future of 32bit and Devuan? » 2017-05-15 21:51:57
I think that depends if Debian LTS will support 32bit... that is bit in concern even for Jessie, as they might decide not to provide LTS support for i386 for example. See the question mark (?) there:
That means it is not yet decided if it will stay like that or what might get in or get out of LTS support, so even for Jessie LTS. Which in turn other than feasibility to support, also depends on interest of LTS paying customers i guess, blah, blah...
Jessie is fine, but newer GCC on Stretch shows i think a lot compiling specific issues on 32bit... so sounds like Jessie is last one feasable to be longterm supported.
edit: just my opinion, i am new here and not neither Devuan nor Debian dev... 32-bit LTS might be cut off, no guarantee on that before Debian's LTS architecture support announce.
But regular 3 year term supported ones would stay for 32bit of course.

1) Let's talk about TeD. https://www.nllgg.nl/Ted/
I know Debian rejected this Motif software.
Would it be possible that you keep it into your DEVUAN repositories?2) Why excellent, non for business, Motif softwares will die? (Ex.TeD)
I think Debian reason to remove TeD was not interface but licence:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=501638
So non-free and non-redistributable, which is something that can't be even in non-free repo.
edit: BTW TeD is GTK2 software by default even upstream now as i see, so to get motif version you might wanna compile it to get that GUI anyway.
