Yeah, I read this blog some days ago.

Thanks! Seems our work is popular in GTK world.

Donation button is at the bottom of http://msys2.github.io

We have lot of plans about site/wiki and so on but have no man power for it.
Only 2 peoples work on MSYS2 core. For package recipes we have two repositories:
MSYS-packages:
https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages
MINGW-Packages:
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages
Wiki:
https://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/wiki/Home/

This is not commercial project and we don’t have infrastructure for packages
store/mirroring.

In most cases need to do some work to get program builded with mingw-w64.
I’m decide to prefix all mingw-w64 packages and don’t prefix msys2 packages.
Prefixing mingw-w64 packages also solve problem for installing 32 and 64 bit
packages together under 64-bit Windows. So you don’t need install both 32 and
64 bit MSYS2 to have both mingw-w64 architecture packages.

You can write PKGBUILD for missing packages and create pull request on github.
After review ant testing we will provide them via pacman.
Or you can create issue on github in our repository and we will try to add this
packages ourself when have time.

All keys are installed with MSYS2 installer.

This is issue of missing signature file on sourceforge.net. I will fix it
today. Thanks for info!
