PKGBUILD: Drop 32-bit support?
A couple of users mentioned about splitting the pkgbase
so the 32-bit version isn't unnecessarily built.

I myself don't use lib32-gtk3-classic
neither. I'd be happy to drop it if nobody uses/needs this package. Someone in the community could maintain a separate lib32-gtk3-classic
AUR package if there is a need to keep it.
I already proposed it over a year ago https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk3-classic#comment-801051
I personally don't see any reason for it - PKGBUILDs are not there for consumption by AUR helpers, and having lib32 support in the same place means halving the PKGBUILD maintenance burden.
I'm going to go ahead and drop the lib32-gtk3-classic
package. For reasons:
-
lib32-gtk3-classic
doesn't build for GTK+ 3.24.36.-
Strangely, I can't build
lib32-gtk3
from official repos either despite having same make dependencies.gtk/gdk/meson.build:328:2: ERROR: Dependency "gobject-introspection-1.0" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake
-
-
lib32-gtk3
in the official repo is maintained by "Orphan". Not a good sign. - Few dependants on
lib32-gtk3
, I would guess the majority of Arch users don't really need it as it's mostly optional. - Ease maintenance for me. I never used/tested
lib32-gtk3-classic
. - Faster compiling (2x) from AUR for everyone.
- 🌍 Saves the planet and energy bills, I guess 😄
If any user does need a classic patched lib32-gtk3
, they are welcome to use the last one: lib32-gtk3-classic
3.24.35, or switch to lib32-gtk3
.
Of course, any one is welcome to create a new lib32-gtk3-classic
AUR package and maintain a patched 32-bit version.
