Allow me to mention yypkg again: http://yypkg.org/mingw-builds/ There are almost 70 packages, the website infrastructure is up, the package management is working and its infrastructure is up, the source-control infrastructure is also up. Everything is open and reproducible except for the "download sources" part for which I have a proper solution only since wednesday. The "user" aspect is documented and the "packager" one is partly-documented. If this gives a better idea of the current state, my TODO for this week-end and the next few days is: - update software to what has gotten in slackware-current - finish packaging sdl - package dbus - package ffmpeg - package gnustep which will help test the objc toolchain - patch bsdtar/libarchive to handle symlinks in packages more gracefully (symlinks if running with admin rights, junctions for dirs and copy for files otherwise; or something like that) (I'm trying to get sdl, dbus, ffmpeg and gnustep fairly quickly because they've been requested by people) PS: despite being named "mingw-builds", this has nothing to do with the project on sf.net; "mingw-builds" is not a very specific name and I derived it from "SlackBuilds": slackware's build scripts. (I plan on trying to find another name though) -- Adrien Nader ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
