Title: x86 support to be dropped from media-gfx/darktable
Author: Marek Szuba <marecki@gentoo.org>

Display-If-Keyword: x86
Display-If-Installed: =media-gfx/darktable-2.6.2

Since version 3.0.0 media-gfx/darktable officially only supports 64-bit
architectures, and we have observed errors while attempting to build
these versions on x86 - making media-gfx/darktable-2.6.2 the last
version to support this architecture. However the 2.6.x branch of
Darktable has not seen any activity since October 2019 and we have just
confirmed with upstream that all but the latest release branch (3.4.x at
the time of writing this) are not supported.

In light of the above we have decided to remove
media-gfx/darktable-2.6.2 from the tree, thus effectively dropping x86 
support from that package, by 2021-06-15.
