Drop Win32 support in Pipelines #2026

Closed theGreatWhiteShark closed 1 month ago

theGreatWhiteShark commented 2 months ago

Bit rot in Msys2 mingw32 pacman repo seems to have reached a critical point.

We already experienced some problems - see #1971. But now the Qt5Svg package is not available anymore (https://ci.appveyor.com/project/mauser/hydrogen/builds/50559647/job/65mcmkvbk3ssc3w0). This is nothing we can work around easily to keep Windows 32bit support a little while longer.

I'll check whether there is an alternative repo but I'm afraid 1.2.3 was the end of the line for these kind of release artifacts.

Well. Turns out MSYS2 did already dropped Windows 32bit support four years ago and started to drop MINGW32 packages since 2023-12-13. Both in order to save resources and reduce maintenance load. https://www.msys2.org/news/

It's really sad. But it seems we have no choice but to drop Windows 32bit support too. At least we can not produce binaries anymore. 😢
