As noted in the mingw list thread, for me the objective of version parity
between native and mingw packages of the current mingw-environment is a big
selling point. My real-world experience reflects what others shared in this
post, namely that by far most issues which pop up during testing are target
independent, i.e. will affect both the native build as the cross-compiled
build. It's true that version partiy is not 100% reflected in the current
package state, but I still believe the overall state is pretty good, and
personally I'd rather look at building cross and native packages from the
same spec to reduce the maintenance burden. I know that there was a proposal
in this direction some months ago, I'd like to start moving in this
direction at least with packages where I maintain both the native and the
cross packages.
Yes, I proposed that last year. I was supposed to move it forward by
providing a copr repo illustrating it in real world, but I'm afraid
I got side tracked.
I also wasn't able to participate in the discussion having had too much
going on then, but I'd be happy to help (re-)launching the effort.
