Loosing security support, sounds not viable, so if alpha is removed the question what that would do to users (aka performance and does it work/build after the patchset) is still an open question ... Also theres the question about how few people would be affected and what we gain from this? > It is worth mentioning that even Debian hasn't supported Alpha (along > with several other architectures) since release 8.0 in June 2018. I think debian dropped alpha from the officially supported architectures but it seems there is still some inofficial support: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/12.0/alpha/ thx [...] --=20 Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB There will always be a question for which you do not know the correct answe= r. --D2vrNDtfzF73uO3X Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iF0EABEKAB0WIQSf8hKLFH72cwut8TNhHseHBAsPqwUCZmgf+AAKCRBhHseHBAsP q6JWAJ4kng1myxdQh/8GMw2bTH9PFV++ewCeOWov0gkKoGUdzRdfCKvfgsJzOns= =sAzR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --D2vrNDtfzF73uO3X-- --===============1052626464371281413== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-request@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe". --===============1052626464371281413==--
