Hi all,

I am just wondering about people's option about making a new category, called something like dev-xmingw or similar.

At the moment we have in portage:

dev-util/xmingw-binutils  dev-util/xmingw-runtime
dev-util/xmingw-gcc       dev-util/xmingw-w32api

Which gives a usable W32 toolchain on gentoo using just standard W32 libraries.

But every so often people submit ebuild for other libraries for use with this toolchain
( eg. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101468 )

I have not added them up to now as it would, in my opinion, just clutter things.

The other option is to make an external non-official tree that people could use as an overlay.

Opinions?

Stefan
