hi,

wouldn't be possible to automatically add it somehow to all packages?
on the other hand should this BR be version? in case of automatic R is
version then yes, but then each time the mingw32-filesystem package
update we've to update each mingw32-x spec file which is a nightmare!:-(
No we don't.
Each MinGW package should depend on mingw32-filesystem >= VERSION
where VERSION is the minimum version required.
For example, if some feature was added to mingw32-filesystem version
40 in order to support mingw32-foo -- for example, if an extra
'Provides(somedll)' was added to support mingw32-foo -- then
mingw32-foo would have:
BuildRequires: mingw32-filesystem >= 40
and would stay like that until another feature was added to support
mingw32-foo (if that ever happened).
