Any sign of Red Hat changing their ways? Or are they just sick and tired of 32 bit?
i686 is dead - there is no RHEL7 for i686 at all
Hi Reindl,
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/509373 RHEL 7 will continue to provide selected libraries in both 32-bit and 64-bit, allowing 32-bit applications to run in the 64-bit RHEL 7 OS environment. This functionality also exists for RHEL 5 & 6 as documented in the knowledge article: How to install 32-bit packages on a 64-bit system
This is not a case of "can't" but "don't want to". Can't say I blame them, but it doesn't help me with Wine 32.
the last non x86_64 i faced was 5 years ago and frankly the whole linux stack would be much more tiny without the old code and could be optimized for mordern and relevant CPU's
Wine 32 is my only 32 app I have left since I purchased Qoppa's PDF Studio Pro (worth every cent, by the way). Accationally, I still have to use 32 bit only Acrobat Reader for Dynamic XFA forms (they are a pain in the neck).
Maybe at some point, if Coherence gets any traction under KVM maybe we can work around the 32 bit problem with RHEL 7 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39238
