For the packages I maintain (w32api, mingw-runtime, hexedit, astyle) I didn't think there would be much of an impact between 1.5 and 1.7. If there is some benefit, please let me know and I will build 1.7 versions of these packages. Is there a naming convention or something I should use, since I assume using the same name / version as the 1.5 binaries may cause a problem? Chris -- Chris Sutcliffe http://emergedesktop.org
