I’m sync time to time MSYS2 sources with Cygwin to be up-to-date. Also pacman itself need to be updated when I create its package. I think this is totally bad idea for all users to reinstall MSYS2 every time I create new base installer. Installer is good for new users to get more fresh MSYS2. I think on first time we need write good instruction about upgrading process. We can split upgrade on two or three parts to get smaller as we can errors. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Slashdot TV. > Video for Nerds.
