Hi Steve, I've never heard of the pacman installer for Windows before, and Google gives little in the way of insight. I gather it's part of msys2, but I'm having a hard time finding background and details on that, too. What's the history? Is there a community here? Any info appreciated :) thanks, --titus _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.software-carpentry.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.software-carpentry.org
