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

[Gilles Caulier]

Did you real well my original mail ?

I never speak about the non compatibility of whole digiKam and 32 bits
support. I speak only about bundles, and especially the AppImage compiled
under CentoOS 6.9 for binary compatibility reasons.

The linux distro packages in 32 bits can be available. After all the code
is free to use. You can also compile the code yourself if all puzzle parts
are present on your 32 bits system : compiler, shared libs, etc...

Best
