I wonder if that is good move this close to release? AFAIK: 5.0.1 was planned to happen during this month. I think the decision has to be made by release team. >From CI system point of view it is OK, if you can tell me some binary under MinGW installation which returns also the revision :) The problem is that CI machines are controlled by puppet and before doing (re)installation it does check that if correct version of MinGW is already installed. At the moment puppet configuration for MinGW is configured to execute 'gcc.exe --version', which returns: --- gcc.exe (Built by MinGW-builds project) 4.7.2 Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. --- Now this does not specify revision, so even I change puppet configuration >From rev1 -> rev8, it won't update it since both still match with 4.7.2 :( Anyway if release team decides to go with rev8, I will do manual reinstallation if nothing else works.
