RFC: Drop Delivered Binaries For Arm32 Linux #6392

Open PastaPastaPasta opened 1 week ago

PastaPastaPasta commented 1 week ago

Dash Core currently provides pre-compiled guix builds for the following platforms

It is being proposed that Dash Core will NO LONGER provide builds for arm-linux-gnueabihf aka, 32bit arm linux. This is the final 32bit system that we provide builds for. The primary purpose to drop this is to

  1. Reduce the shipping of minimally used builds
  2. Reduce the total bundle size of pre-compiled binaries
  3. Reduce the amount of time required during release process / building

As of v21.1.1, the arm-linux-gnueabihf release represents less than 1% of linux downloads for all recent releases.

This is a request for comment; if you have a significant objection to dropping arm32 linux pre compiled binaries, please say so here. It will still be supported to compile on / for arm32 linux, however, they will not be provided as part of the GitHub releases.

This issue will be closed at some point in the next few weeks, after there has been an opportunity for comment.
