Dear -devel,
is there a reason why we have both a mingw32 and a gcc-mingw32 package
in Debian? Both seem to contain the same, i.e. the GCC from the MinGW
project (please note they dropped the "32" for a while), but the
version in gcc-mingw32 is newer than the one in mingw32.
For the 64-bit variant, there is a meta-package called mingw-w64 that
pulls in gcc-mingw-w64 and mingw-w64-dev. However, for the 32-bit
variant, the mingw32 package is not a meta-package but (an ancient
version) the actual compiler, as stated above.
Then, some the package names are also inconsistent, compare
mingw32-binutils and binutils-mingw-w64.
Is there a principle behind all this or where can I help to clean this
up? ;)
Cheers,
Fabian
