This isn't what I said - we don't want to use Windows to build the package (rhsrvany is the package in this case). We do test it in a Windows VM before release. If it were to fail -- I don't recall it ever failing actually, so this is theoretical -- then we'd go back to the Fedora mingw environment to fix it. What I don't want is to have to use a Windows environment to build the package. > I'm a little confused about the thread though.

Did you read > the proposal? :) I did read it yes, but later messages in the thread confused things. If we're not touching the mingw32 target, at least for now, then that's fine. Eventually I guess when absolutely no one is using Windows 7 and doesn't want to use V2V to convert those guests we can drop the 32 bit / msvcrt stuff.
