Remember, that was just my impression given the current discussion, some previous ones like the old 2006 argument about Corinna's patches to "Simplify MinGW canadian crosses", and snarky comments in the repo like the one I quoted. Nobody has actually come out and SAID such a thing. > it occurs to me that they could always move mingw sideways - to a > different repository still on the sourceware.org cvs server Meh. There's been continual talk about such reorganization: http://osdir.com/ml/gnu.mingw.devel/2006-03/msg00013.html http://www.nabble.com/Putting-GCC-machinery-into-MinGW-CVS-td24187752.html but little has come of that. Most recently, the mingw website/wiki was moved to a new provider (not sf), although the lists, CVS (for all but mingw-runtime and w32api), and file distribution remain at sf -- with plans to move the file distribution to the new provider eventually, as well. But AFAIK there are no *current* plans to (a) move the non-mingwrt/w32api CVS anywhere, or (b) move the lists, or (c) rearrange the mingwrt/w32api stuff now under src/. > - and we could > import a mildly-forked version of their packages into winsup just like we > would with any other external library.
