Hi,

We could safely remove depends on sse2-support and drop this package now it is baseline

I plan to drop this package for forky

Currently the texlive-binaries-sse2 package provides binaries, which can only exit on 4 arches. Merging it back into texlive-binaries makes texlive-binaries uninstallable on nearly all arches. Are you sure this is desired? Or do you want me to drop dep on *sse2-support*?

The version specification in your bug report looks weird.

Hi Hilmar,

SSE2 is, in trixie and newer, part of the architecture baseline on
all supported x86 architectures (amd64 + i386).

Thus the dependency on sse2-support is unnecessary in trixie and
newer.

I *think* Bastien asks for you to remove the Dependency on
sse2-support, so he can later remove that package. The package split
in your package does not need to change.

Best,
Chris

OK, you are right, the split was just done to make sure non-sse2 capable systems do not get *jit* binaries, meanwhile i386 in general can run *jit* binaries.

I've dropped the dep on sse2-support, will think about package merge later.

Hello,

I'd like to upload another revision ASAP. I see there an active thread running with subject

"expected baseline changes for forky"

, but I don't follow it to closely. Could it have an impact on this bug report or may I upload?
