Re: [Mingw-users] Interesting article on packaging

[SONE T. <ts...@ts...>]

Systems like rpm/dpkg/apt are for operating systems, which themselves
are organized from _thousands_ of packages.
Indeed, it is very cool that "apt-get update && apt-get -y upgrade"
automagically keeps my Debian GNU/Linux box up-to-date.

For mingw platform, the operating system is supplied and
maintained by that Big Company. Our distribution should contain
only development toolchain and some libraries at most,
they would become 10 packages or so.
rpm/dpkg/apt are too complicated and overkill.
Simple zip file should suffice.
