Are you using 32-bit InChI artifacts?

[JanCBrammer]

We're considering to stop releasing 32-bit InChI artifacts.
That's why we'd like to get a sense which 32-bit InChI artifacts are used (if any).

Perhaps adding the keyword InChI would clarify things even more.

[JanCBrammer]

Good point, feel free to edit the poll @djb-rwth 👍

@JanCBrammer
Have just done it, but it annulled all the current polling results, i.e. reset it to zero 😞 ; luckily there were just three of them.

So, please cast your votes again starting from 18.00/6PM, 25/06/2025.

@JanCBrammer A comment (i.e. to not restart the poll again) about when the poll is going to be closed were advantageous -- both for you, and the ones who cast their vote, for instance Monday, 2025-06-30 00:00 (UTC). Second, with this detail set, a broadcast to the more InChI user oriented inchi-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net (altogether with the note a vote requires a login to GitHub) could further increase the population of voters.

Thanks, I've got the further broadcast in hand. Would prefer to leave the due date open to give the opportunity for a wide spread of considerations and input

Are you still planning to develop InChI code in a way that it compiles for 32bit systems? For me 32bit artifacts are not important, but it would be nice to retain the possibility for the users who still run 32bit to build InChI from source. If so, then I would suggest having a CI job ensuring 32bit builds succeed.

I maintain InChI packages in Debian which supports a few 32bit architectures. InChI artifacts there are built from source.

Hi @merkys,
In short, yes; even if it is voted that 32-bit binaries should not be available for download, users will be able to compile 32-bit binaries from the source.
