Remove x86 package from msixbundle #80

Open palenshus opened 3 years ago

palenshus commented 3 years ago

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Our msixbundle includes x64 and x86 msix packages. According to our telemetry, we haven't yet seen any x86 users, and we feel it's unlikely that we'll have any, given that our users are generally in the developer class. Removing the x86 package from the bundle would halve the download size for all our users.

If no one hollers in opposition to this after a while, we'll make the change.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Remove x86 package from bundle, but keep the deployment as an msixbundle, as we may have other platforms in the future (arm64?)

This would prevent wingetcreate from working on arm64 until amd64 emulation is released, so is there any way we can get arm64 builds when this happens?

Ah, interesting, I wasn't aware of that usage scenario, thanks! In light of that, we'll punt this into the backlog for now.
