Support for the i386 and armv7 architectures may be discontinued #535
Description
Hello,
Currently this app support all architecture, because it's mostly written in python. But in the near feature when the matrix v2 branch will be merged the app will depends on the element call backend (livekit). Unfortunately the official livekit binary are only built for amd64, armv7 and arm64. So only theses 3 architectures will be supported compared with today, when the package support all architectures
And at some point (in about 6 month maybe) the package will also depends on the new authentication system based on MAS which is only released for amd64 and arm64.
So mainly this ticket is to survey how many people depends on theses architecture and maybe discuss of what we can do for theses user.
Maybe for the i386 architecture as livekit is not a essential component we can work around this for now. But as soon as we will depends on MAS the question will be different as it's an essential component and so the only alternative would be to build somewhere the binary for the missing architecture somewhere as same as we do for the armv7 python venv.
I created a post on the forum to discuss about this with a survey do see how many user will be impacted.
So please answer this ticket or answer on the related forum post if you are using the architecture i386 or armv7 so we can have a better idea of the number of the impacted users.
