Since version 3.0.0 media-gfx/darktable officially only supports 64-bit |
| 10 |
architectures, and we have observed errors while attempting to build |
| 11 |
these versions on x86 - making media-gfx/darktable-2.6.2 the last |
| 12 |
version to support this architecture. However the 2.6.x branch of |
| 13 |
Darktable has not seen any activity since October 2019 and we have just |
| 14 |
confirmed with upstream that all but the latest release branch (3.4.x at |
| 15 |
the time of writing this) are not supported. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
In light of the above we have decided to remove |
| 18 |
media-gfx/darktable-2.6.2 from the tree, thus effectively dropping x86 |
| 19 |
support from that package, by 2021-06-15. |
