[digiKam-users] The future of 6.0.0 bundles and C++11 support...

[Andrey Goreev]

Would it be possible to compile 32bit versions of digiKam 6+ at all? If it is possible but is too much work it might worth to try compiling 32bit version once in a while, e.g. 6.0.0. and then 6.9.0 or whichever is the last version in 6 series.

Among the many reasons some of us have switched from Windows to Linux 
was the ability to preserve older investments in computer hardware. We 
have 6 computers currently in the house, only 2 are Windows, 1 is a 
laptop with Windows x64. The other 4 computers are running 32 bit Linux 
of various OS's. We also get donated old computers from people. We make 
some simple refurbishments, install Linux (usually Mint 17+ or 18) and 
put Digikam on all of them then give them to families and the elderly 
who cannot afford computers.

So I vote not to drop Digikam 32 bits. Otherwise we will stop updating 
Digikam at whatever version 32 bits support is ended.

Using Digikam since 2.5 (I think)
