RHEL6 only supports packages based on the old MinGW packaging guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:MinGW_Old One of the rules of EPEL is that it's forbidden to replace packages which are already in the RHEL trees. Therefore we can't introduce the mingw-w64 toolchain and the new packaging macros in EPEL unless Red Hat decides to introduce the base mingw-w64 packages in RHEL6. As I'm not a Red Hat employee I don't have any further information about any possible plans Red Hat might have about introducing the mingw-w64 toolchain in RHEL6 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
