Hi Alan, I'm not an MSYS2 developer, but by looking at my installation I found the URLs of the package repositories. By definition, this is always the very most accurate information, although it's not as nicely formatted as the wiki page. Here are the URLs:
http://repo.msys2.org/mingw/x86_64/ http://repo.msys2.org/msys/x86_64/ If you want a preview of what's ahead, you can also look in the Github repositories. I have no idea when these are pushed into the main repositories. https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages Thanks, Arthur -----Original Message----- From: Alan W. Irwin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 3 July 2016 12:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Msys2-users] Please make available a constantly updated package list As far as I know the most up-to-date package list for the MinGW-w64/MSYS2 platform is <https://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/wiki/Packages/>, but it states it was last updated more than a year ago. Could the developers of the MinGW-w64/MSYS2 platform please automate creating that package list on your wiki so that there exists a continually (or at least once per day or so) updated package list for your platform? Or point me to such a package list if you have created it elsewhere. A constantly updated package list is important for those like me who have no access to your platform (no Microsoft Windows here and Wine has some showstopping bugs that keep me from giving MinGW-w64/MSYS2 a try on that version of Windows) but need to advise others (PLplot developers and testers in my case where PLplot has many free software library dependencies) who do have access to your platform about what packages and especially package versions are accessible on that platform. Sometimes I also need to know information about MinGW-w64/MSYS2 package versions directly for my own needs. For example, from time to time I need to make a decision about how much to bump the CMake minimum version we adopt for PLplot, but that decision obviously depends on what CMake version is supplied by all important platforms including your particular platform, and I hate to rely on one-year-old information about the CMake version available in your case.
