Yeah, it looks well separated now. >> I know Arch Linux users are generally competent, but I'd like to see the >> link point to something actually related to mingw-w64, rather than just to >> AUR homepage.

Unfortunately, I can't help here. I checked the package lists though and the two repositories are complements. Community repo has the basics (gcc, binutils, crt, headers...), and AUR has the rest plus trunk versions of _some_ of the basic packages.

I think the situation of choosing an _application package_ on Windows is different from the one of choosing a whole _operating system_. I'm not arguing against the presence of Cygwin, though. > MSYS2 is different in that there's a lot more to say.
