is this msys2 something that applies to mingw-w64? should I be using this
instead of
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/External%20binary%20packages%20%28Win64%20hosted%29/MSYS%20%2832-bit%29/
?
That is a ridiculously outdated all-in-one MSYS package from way back when.
You should really try MSYS2, it's a lot better in pretty much all aspects.

Hi,
I just had a look on the MSYS2 pages at sourceforge. It turned out that
the Cygwin sources provided on sourceforge,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/REPOS/MSYS2/Sources/msys2-runtime-2.0.15816.7257e97-1.src.tar.gz/download
are very old, from 2014-02-02, while the latest binary packages, for
instance
http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/REPOS/MSYS2/x86_64/msys2-runtime-2.0.16430.e868fe8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz/download
corresponds to the latest Cygwin source code from 2014-12-06.
The corresponding source repository at
http://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/code/ci/master/tree/
is even older, with the latest sources from late 2013.
I’m use github as primary source for building
packages:https://github.com/Alexpux/Cygwin/tree/Cygwin
PKGBILD:https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/blob/master/msys2-runtime/PKGBUILD#L26
Will update sf.net repo today.
And this is only for Cygwin. The situation of the other upstream
packages isn't better. About half of the binary packages are younger
than 6 month, while the latest source archives have been updated
2014-06-11.
You're violating the GPL again in a pretty big style. Yes, not all of
the affected packages are GPLed, but a lot are. What is so complicated
to keep the sources up to date with the binary packages?
I’m provide git repository with build scripts and patches that applies to
sources:For mingw:https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages
For msys2:https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages
Regards,Alexey.
Please fix this ASAP.
