            Bug ID: 291362
           Summary: 15.0 Release packages for i386 contain really outdated
                    packages, they should be removed
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: i386
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: monwarez@mailoo.org

Given that FreeBSD 15.0 axes its support for distributing the 32bit version of
the OS, it should do the same for its packages especially if those are actually
very outdated.

For instance, at the current state, every user of wine/wine-devel/wine-proton
will have a broken install if they create their i386 prefix from scratch with
the given pkg32.sh tools.

As an example, while wine-devel is at version 10.19 on latest, it appears that
it is at the version 10.13. Which will make every user of wine-devel having a
non working setup once they migrate to 15.0. Assuming of course that they
deleted their i386 prefix folder and created it again for the new major
version.
