https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=292017 --- Comment #5 from Generic Rikka <rikka.goering@outlook.de> --- Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify my intent: I’m not asking the FreeBSD base system or ports infrastructure to “support pkg32.sh” as an official mechanism. My goal with this PR was simply to get orientation on the current state of play: given that FreeBSD 15.x no longer produces i386 packages, is there any known, reasonably maintainable path for desktop users to keep Wine/Proton working for 32-bit Windows titles on amd64? >From the answers so far, it sounds like the currently supported interpretation of “32-bit execution remains expected” is: run a supported i386 world (13.5/14.x) in a chroot/jail, install packages inside that environment, and keep it isolated from the 15.x host userland. If that’s the intended/only supported route, that’s totally fair — but it also means that the “run 32-bit Windows games via Wine/Proton on 15.x” story becomes a jail/chroot recipe, not a simple host-side setup. If that’s correct, I’m happy to help by: - writing or contributing documentation for an “officially recommended” jail/chroot workflow for this use-case (including graphics/audio caveats), or - helping test/iterate on a documented recipe so it’s reproducible for typical desktop users. Also, in hindsight, this probably would have fit better as a mailing list discussion than a Bugzilla PR; apologies if filing it here created noise. If there is a better place to track/route this (Handbook docs issue, FreeBSD Desktop WG, ports docs, etc.), please point me there and I can move the discussion. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.home | help
