From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: IT Superhack To: development@lists.ipfire.org Subject: Question concerning the IDS2016 log Date: Thu, 08 Sep 2016 16:30:00 +0000 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============3601901263586091866==" List-Id: --===============3601901263586091866== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello Michael, hello development-list, I have a question concerning the IDS2016 (URL: http://wiki.ipfire.org/ids/201= 6/log), where it says: "Dropping i686 + armv5tel - No need for it any more" To me, it has not become fully clear if this means the architecture or the wh= ole release format. For example, nearly nobody (Fireinfo says: 0,07%) is running an IPFire system with the armv5tel architecture - these are afaik mostly old systems like the Raspberry Pi which are certainly not suitable for a firewall purpose. On the other hand, > 80% run an i686 system, and I guess it wouldn't make sense to make these installations unusable because of EOL. But maybe "droppin= g" means that you will remove some specific patches for i686, so these will run with i586 afterwards. Within the ARM stuff, the situation is not that clear for me. Are you panning to remove the ARM support at all? Or are you going to remove ARMv5 devices fr= om the "supported ARM devices list"? Sorry if there is a misunderstanding here - got way little coffe today. ;-) Best regards, Timmothy Wilson --===============3601901263586091866== Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" MIME-Version: 1.0 LS0tLS1CRUdJTiBQR1AgU0lHTkFUVVJFLS0tLS0KCmlRRWNCQUVCQ2dBR0JRSlgwWkk4QUFvSkVP eUxhMUM1RWF6cll4c0lBSkZ1R3BiSDNBcXA3ZGN5VWMrdThMbW8KYm1zSzJsUDYvWGZUdnQxRzNq UnFPNTk5T0w1OW9IMnVETm9kdmJPVFdDS1l0UEJOVlVBTzhRUjJuaEdkbEo1OQpJRTFwSXFLV2F6 Rzloblo2TXNLd1BqVDIyQVJQM1BOM0ZnUjAwbjRNWEZsRi9qTkpPWHlVWHIwTFg5WWpOc1B4CnJS UUt2VUsyL2l2eXQ1QmdkLzI5QVlVWGtCVWM0b1pFNkdxSHRHTXIwT0RMYmFtTEZDeXg1YzVWblFB N1FxQmcKZFg3L0h3bHM0T0xlR2pGL0F1TktZRWpmVzJRL0lRV2gyOXdLc09FSmNyMUw0c2JvNHFk alVybzRwZFBKMzNNUQpuT0YzU3M1Nm9Bc1RFZW05dlNCdTVlMmdNZnMrSldGNjFYUTdXUkpFWG1h cXBlS2NzemdkaTRkcGlGL0NZakE9Cj0vM01ICi0tLS0tRU5EIFBHUCBTSUdOQVRVUkUtLS0tLQo= --===============3601901263586091866==--
