--- Comment #7 from Erik van Pienbroek erik-fedora@vanpienbroek.nl 2011-05-05 12:22:32 EDT --- Hi Jason and Thomas,
Right now we're in the middle of getting support for mingw-w64 landed in Fedora 16. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Mingw-w64_cross_compiler for more details about that.
As part of this feature, we've had to update the packaging guidelines and have them approved by the FPC. This was done recently. This is only one of the steps required to get everything ready. Right now we're waiting for 5 packages to be reviewed and approved before we can continue. One of these packages, mingw-filesystem, implements all the macros specified in the new guidelines. As long as that package isn't approved, the new packaging guidelines can't be enforced yet.
Packages awaiting review: mingw-filesystem: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673784 mingw-binutils: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673786 mingw-gcc: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673788 mingw-headers: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673790 mingw-crt: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673792
So to summarize, as long as the 5 packages mentioned above (where mingw-filesystem is the most important one) aren't approved we can't use the new guidelines yet and we've got to stick with the old ones.
