Hi, I just had a look on the MSYS2 pages at sourceforge. It turned out that the Cygwin sources provided on sourceforge,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/REPOS/MSYS2/Sources/msys2-runtime-2.0.15816.7257e97-1.src.tar.gz/download are very old, from 2014-02-02, while the latest binary packages, for instance http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/REPOS/MSYS2/x86_64/msys2-runtime-2.0.16430.e868fe8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz/download corresponds to the latest Cygwin source code from 2014-12-06. The corresponding source repository at http://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/code/ci/master/tree/ is even older, with the latest sources from late 2013. And this is only for Cygwin. The situation of the other upstream packages isn't better. About half of the binary packages are younger than 6 month, while the latest source archives have been updated 2014-06-11. You're violating the GPL again in a pretty big style. Yes, not all of the affected packages are GPLed, but a lot are. What is so complicated to keep the sources up to date with the binary packages? Please fix this ASAP. Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Cygwin Maintainer Red Hat
