  Sompi

  yes. ou can roll your own build. Support will not be taken out

  Sompi
  So it still builds normally?

  frg_Away
  yes

  Are there any building instructions online? One friend also needs a non-SSE2 version

  but at least I won't test it any longer. If something fails to build I wont try to fix it but have no problem integrating patches.

  Sompi
  Because of Rust?

  I'm installing updates to a virtual machne that runs Devuan Linux and it's been doing that for 20 minutes
• 09:53
  Sompi
  And there's not even that many packages to update

  stuff like this used to work very fast on a Pentium II, now it is very slow on an i7-based Xeon
