Almost nobody > will use MinGW builds if regular MSVC builds work fine. So it should be on > the onus of the few people caring about MinGW to ensure that the build chain > works on those platforms. > Example here, apparently the uriparser library doesn't build on MinGW: > https://ci.appveyor.com/project/pitrou/arrow/build/job/t64xwyj2axhl1jgr > There is a tendency to inflate the number of different configurations in our > CI matrices. Not only it makes builds longer and adds delays (see how long > you have to wait before you get a CI result on AppVeyor), but it's of dubious > utility. I'm not sure it serves the project's general interest. > Rant off ;) -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
