MinGW/ReviveMinGWTasks

Introduction

Here's a list of tasks which need to be done regarding the Fedora MinGW toolchain. This list contains the packages which will need update and what exactly is needed for each of the package to be able to have it back to Fedora and/or to have it updated matching its native counter part.

TODO

Others

• mingw-gcc
  • Update the package to the same version used in its native counter-part
    • https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1740707
    • Discrepancy between native package and mingw-package is not too big and patching this component would need a massive rebuild and testing of the whole set of mingw packages. For now, let's ignore this one.
