Actually I think the prevailing thought that the Board has (although it's up to FESCo to really nail it down) is that the mingw tools themselves are absolutely suitable for Fedora. The libraries compiled against it for windows use are what should be in another repo. My personal opinion is that if you're going to need to munge spec files in order to produce packages built against mingw, those munges need to be done outside our cvs repo as well. However that's just my opinion, and since the board has asked FESCo to sort out the technical details, and I'm not in FESCo anymore, that opinion doesn't amount to much (: -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature!
