In fact the hope is that mingw-get can be used by any project for download of their files to windows platforms. It just requires that the meta-data in an xml file be accessible by mingw-get. The xml file can be created by the end user of mingw-get as well as one that is project maintained. I suggest a review of the archives of min...@li... should occur for the specifics and that Keith Marshall be contacted for definitive answers on what should occur. Keith has the most knowledge since it was he who developed most of mingw-get. Earnie |

My understanding was the same. At least was that the conclusion of that what I've read on mingw.org's ML about mingw-get. It would be great if we could provide at least .xml files for mingw-get for 64-bit, too. Regards, Kai -- | (\_/) This is Bunny.

You will need to package your own mingw-get distribution, specific to your own repository, and, for the time being, that will need to be kept separate from our distribution, (and as a separate end user installation), to avoid conflicts between our package-list.xml and yours; (this is an issue I hope to eventually resolve, by tagging each locally cached .xml file with a repository hash, but that's a feature for some as yet unspecified future release). -- Regards, Keith. |
