Hi, Who maintains the gcc package that's included in msys2? Is it handled by the msys2 project, or elsewhere? There are specifically two questions I want to ask:
1. I see that gcc 5.1 is the latest version - how does that make its way into msys2? (That's the minor question - I don't have any particular need for a newer version of gcc) 2. With the release of Visual C 2015, MS is releasing a new "Universal CRT". It's not compatible with the older msvcrt, but it has the advantage of being shipped as an OS component (directly with Windows 10, and via windows update and vcredist for older versions). How would support for the universal CRT get added to msys2/gcc? Who deals with such things? (I'm not able to provide patches or anything like that, I'd just like to know where to look to see if anyone was working on this). This is the more major question for me, as I'd like to be able to compile the xpm library (which needs a Unix-like build environment) in a way that can be linked with MSVC 2015 (because I want to use that to build vim, which uses xpm). I have workarounds (basically, don't use xpm :-)) so it's not a critical issue, I just don't know a "proper" fix other than mingw support for the universal CRT.
