--- Comment #2 from Generic Rikka <rikka.goering@outlook.de> ---
Thanks for the clarification — that makes sense: “32-bit binary execution
remains expected” meaning a supported 14.x/13.5 i386 world can still run on the
15.x amd64 kernel via chroot/jail.
My concern is the desktop/gaming usability impact: for common Wine/Proton/Steam
workflows on amd64, users need a straightforward way to obtain and maintain the
32-bit ports userland. Requiring a separate i386 chroot/jail (and managing
packages inside it) is significantly more complex than the previous pkg32-style
workflow and is a major barrier for everyday users who “just want games to
run.”
Could we document an official, supported recipe for this use case (Wine/Proton
needing 32-bit libs), and clarify whether an official package feed for “i386
ports userland for amd64 compat” is intentionally out of scope for 15.x? If it
is out of scope, explicit documentation (and potentially guidance/deprecation
notes for pkg32 workflows on 15.x) would help set expectations.
