As announced multiple times and also documented in detail at https://gitforwindows.org/32-bit, Git for Windows will no longer publish 32-bit installers, portable Gits and such. The only i686 artifacts that will be published are the MinGit ones, until April 2029. This addresses git-for-windows/git#5394. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>

This should have been addressed in git-for-windows/git-for-windows-automation#117, but the build failed. I'm on it. |
Aha: the artifacts to build were specified as |
Actually, it isn't... It's in the |
There, that should fix it: git-for-windows/git-for-windows-automation#118. I will merge this before running |
This is yet another step towards stopping to publish all i686 artifacts except MinGit, see git-for-windows/git#5394. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>
As promised in https://gitforwindows.org/32-bit, Git for Windows provided limited support for i686 until 2025. That year has now arrived.
As per the promise, Git for Windows will still produce the i686 variant of MinGit until April 2029, but that's it.
So what does this entail? For now, I believe that the only change we need to make is to the
create-artifacts-matrix.jsscript, where we need to make theinstaller,portableandarchiveartifacts conditional onarchitecture !== 'i686', similar to how we exclude MinGit-busybox foraarch64.For continuity, and to give us a chance to communicate this change in the Release Notes of one last Git for Windows version that still has said "limited support for i686", let's make this change just after releasing Git for Windows v2.48.1.
