Hello,

I've been using msys2 for a couple days now, and I am glad to finally see a
good MSYS installation with a real package manager, etc.. However, I came
accross a few troubles on the way :

1) Is there any way to setup my own mirror that would be syncd with the
main repos ? On arch linux, mirrors are supposed to rsync one of the main
repos, which support this protocol. Unfortunately, MSYS2 repos don't
support rsync (or at least I didn't see any mention about it). Is there any
other way ?

2) msys2's Vim doesn't have clipboard support. That kind of came as a
surprise to me, since every other vim distributions I came accross compiled
with that option enabled. Is there a reason it's not enabled by default ?

3) Arch Linux has the AUR for user-contributed packages to be found. Is
there anything like it for MSYS2 ? I kind of assume the answer is "no", but
I think it'd be a really good idea to have something similar to it. It
doesn't even have to be hosted by anyone, we could just use the existing
structure of MSYS-Packages and MinGW-Packages git repos, and just create a
tool that's able to download a git subfolder and run the PKGBUILDS from
there.
